Cannot Connect to 5G network
-
@chris_macdonald Okay, Verizon is not supported by Quectel. They won't allow a Quectel modem to connect to their network.
Internally we test with GoogleFi (uses TMobile)

@chris_macdonald Okay another thought, we had another customer who needed to unlock their SIM using a PIN in order to enable it: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/783/sim-card-pin-issue-for-lte-v2-module?_=1647023788468

@tom Just checked it on a phone and SIM card doesn't seem to have a PIN

@tom Gotcha. We had the same issue on our private network that does support Quectel.
@chris_macdonald What band is your private network using?

Are there any forcing options? Can we force the drone to be on 5G only?

There are, however most carriers require an initial connection to 4G and then a handoff to 5G, therefore the modem may not be able to make a connection when setting to 5G only.
By default it is set to both LTE and 5G and will always prefer 5G if it's available.
We set this setting in
/usr/bin/set-mode-pref
which sends an AT command to the modem. -
