Cloud Server
A set of demonstration codes for sensor sending motion, temperature and humidity data to a Fanstel gateway connected to a Fanstel development server using MQTT protocols can be downloaded from Download OpenSource Document webpage.
The purpose of development server is to assist developers in early stage of development to trouble-shoot LTE connection. To avoid overloading, gateways should be connected to a production server as soon as possible.
An Android phone app displaying temperature and humidity as below can be downloaded from the same webpage.
Hex and source codes to connect to Google IoT Core or AWS cloud server can be downloaded from Download Open Source Document webpage.
