You can create a new set of bands with the available band bitmasks.
For example 09 has only LTE bands available:

at!band=?
Index, Name
00, All bands
01, Europe 3G
02, North America 3G
06, Europe
07, North America
08, WCDMA ALL
09, LTE ALL

OK

You can create a new index, and name with only certain bands enabled.

To reveal the available bands/bitmasks issue at!band=? again in privileged mode.
at!entercnd=“A710”
at!band=?

download the AT guide for the full description.

thanks,
James

How can i know which band is set?
If you unlock the module with ‘AT!ENTERCND=’ command, and issue AT!BAND=?, you can check the current band setting from bit mask of each technology, LTE, WCDMA, etc.

Also with module unlocked, issue AT!BAND= command, you can specify band combination, to make things simple, we just copy lte-all, but remove LTE band 66, name the band group as “lte-less”, issue a module reset to pick up the changes:
at!band=0a, “lte-less”, 0000000000000000, 00002100B20E39DF, 0000000000000000, 0000000000000000, 0000000000000000, 0000000000000000
OK
at!band=0a
OK
at!band?
Index, Name, GW Band Mask L Band Mask 1 TDS Band Mask L Band Mask 2 L Band Mask 3 L Band Mask 4
0A, lte-less 0000000000000000 00002100B20E39DF 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000

OK
at!reset
OK
at!band?
Index, Name
0A, lte-less

OK

@Oedenburger and @dwen

Thank you so much for reply.

@dwen : As you have mentioned, i understand point.but please clear my doubt.

–> To remove LTE Band 66

lte_all - lte_band 66 = lte_less

how to decide value for lte_band 66??I can not find B66 in

@Oedenburger

Ok . Thank you

LTEEM · May 13, 2019, 5:25am

@Oedenburger

can you please tell me how can i access EM7565 from user space via simple c application?

Is there any API available for this?
Not via AT command, EM7565 is configured in QMI

What is Gobi API? Is there any sample c code available to use this? Is it something for which i am asking in question 1?

Thanks

Oedenburger · May 15, 2019, 3:52pm

You can download our SDKlite from https://source.sierrawireless.com
these are all QMI based APIs, source examples are available

checkout API SLQSGetSysSelectionPref()
B66 was recently added to SDKlite, SDK API doc may not be updated but B66 is supported.

Thanks,
James

LTEEM · May 16, 2019, 4:15am

@Oedenburger

Thanks,
Would it work for Android Platform arm64 architecture?
We are Interfacing EM7565 to Host with Android 8.1.

Thanks

Oedenburger · May 16, 2019, 3:59pm

We have RIL too, but I can’t comment on it because I never used it:
