Network settings and status via App for Freematics ONE+

With latest telelogger, it is now possible to change network settings (e.g. cellular network APN) and monitor network status for Freematics ONE+ via Freematics Controller App (through BLE). The telelogger ESP-IDF package is also updated. All Freematics ONE+ Model B and Model H shipped from now have BLE enabled firmware pre-flashed.

Shifting to u-blox M10 GNSS

All of Freematics products involving GNSS have shifted to u-blox M10 solution which has better position accuracy (1.5m) and lower power consumption comparing to previous M8 solution.

From the datasheet:

The u-blox M10 supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The
high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to select the best signals. This maximizes the
position availability, in particular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban canyons. u-blox
Super-S (Super-Signal) technology offers great RF sensitivity and can improve the dynamic position
accuracy with small antennas or in non-line-of-sight scenarios.
The extremely low power consumption of 25 mW in continuous tracking mode allows great power
autonomy for all battery-operated devices, such as asset trackers, without compromising on GNSS
performance.

Freematics ONE+ Model B got a refresh

After being around for years, Freematics ONE+ Model B has got a refresh recently. It now comes with SIM7070G LTE-M module. LTE-M gives a longer range, lower latency, lower power consumption, full mobility and roaming support, which makes it ideal for automotive applications that operate across multiple regions. SIM7070G has global LTE and GSM network support. Comparing to SIM7600, it has no UMTS support meaning it has a limitation in areas which rely on 3G network (no 4G or 2G coverage, like some rural areas in Australia). Model H still uses SIM7600.

The Arduino library for Freematics ONE+ has been updated for application code to support both SIM7600 and SIM7070 effortlessly. Now same code can work with SIM7600 and SIM7070 without pre-configuration as cellular module is automatically identified at runtime. The telelogger (reference application code) has been significantly improved with iOS/Android app support via BLE and seamless WiFi/cellular network switching. By the way, Freematics Builder is still your best helper to use telelogger.
