FMC003 which never connects to 4G in France/Europe

Hello,

I’m having an issue with a brand new FMC003. I bought it to get LTE/4G connectivity, but it never attaches to 4G and always stays on 2G/GPRS instead. I’m in France so there are 4G antennas pretty much everywhere.

For context, I used to run an FMB003 before, and I wanted to upgrade to the FMC003 for 4G support.

I have already tested:

  • 3 different operators (Bouygues Telecom, Free Mobile & Orange / Sosh)
  • multiple SIM cards
  • firmware update to the latest version
  • several APN settings
  • different GPRS authentication modes

No matter what I try, the device never registers on LTE. It works in 2G, but that’s not what I need.

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Could this be a hardware / modem / band compatibility issue, or is there something else I should check? Is there a specific setting in Teltonika Configurator to “activate” 4G?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please provide the device serial number and IMEI number.

We will cross-check the modem and band compatibility.

Best regards,

Naveen
