LTE Support

While omnect OS is generally prepared for LTE support on respective devices, for it to really work there can be some extra configuration necessary.

LTE support is handled by ...

  • NetworkManager
  • ModemManager
  • mobile-broadband-provider-info database (from gnome)

A generic NetworkManager configuration for system connection like the following allows to automatically connect to the mobile network in most cases:

[connection]
id=cellular
type=gsm
autoconnect=true

[ipv4]
method=auto

[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
method=auto

For devices with LTE functionality such a generic configuration is already part of the omnect OS image. (see actual configuration file)

However, it might not work with a chosen SIM card due to the fact that the parameters used for identifying the correct connection settings - mainly the APN, the Access Point Name - are not unique: the combination of MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code) is unfortunately sometimes reused by resellers which have a different APN setting.

In this case the above generic configuration needs to be augmented with suitable settings, e.g.:

[gsm]
sim-operator-id=26202
apn=web.vodafone.de
