Cellular IoT : A Practical Guide for Software Developers, Electrical Engineers, and Project Managers

Detailed, practical guidance for implementing IoT cellular network connectivity solutions for software developers and electrical engineers, and project managers.Focusing exclusively on using cellular connectivity for IoT devices, Cellular IoT presents a flexible approach, using algorithms and software designs, to drastically reduce the complexity of interacting with a wide variety of Cellular Communication Modules (CCMs) which lie at the heart of cellular modems.Written in an accessible style, this book is one of the first to cover all practical aspects of cellular network connectivity, from network and SIM selection through to custom algorithms for detecting and recovering from a wide variety of connectivity problems, and an innovative approach to reliably manage AT commands in modern cellular modems.This book explains the factors related to establishing and maintaining cellular connectivity including geography and topology, population density, SIM card (and connectivity provider) sel
