Just switched from a Sierra MC7455 to a Quectel and the modem responses to questions is confusing.

Firstly I have never been able to use 4G at my locale until today but it is not strong and is slow. So I am still running on 3G.

I did some tests and I got these readings.

Code: Select all


AT+QSCAN=3
+QSCAN: "LTE",234,15,2850,265,-136,-29,65524,6

+QENG: "servingcell","NOCONN","WCDMA",234,20,39,B0145C,10588,290,57,-60,-2,-,-,-

OK


Perhaps someone could be kind enough to help me interpret these results.
I am considering an external antenna.
