Cellular AT Modem Integration

Overview

Use this skill to drive a 2G/4G/NB-IoT/LTE-M cellular modem from an MCU over UART with the AT command set. The hard parts are parsing unsolicited result codes (URCs) that interleave with command responses on one serial line, choosing the right registration command per radio access technology, using the correct socket command set for the specific module family, and getting PWRKEY boot timing right before any AT works.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• The user integrates Quectel (EC25, BG96, BC66), SIMCom (SIM7600, SIM800C, A7670), or u-blox (SARA-R4, SARA-R5) over UART.
• The issue involves registration (AT+CPIN?, AT+CSQ, AT+CREG?, AT+CGREG?, AT+CEREG?), APN/PDP (AT+CGDCONT, AT+CGATT, AT+CGACT), or sockets (AT+QIOPEN, AT+QISEND, AT+CIPSTART/AT+CIPOPEN, AT+USOCO).
• URCs such as RING, +CMTI, or +QIURC corrupt command parsing, or power saving (AT+CPSMS, AT+CEDRXS) breaks reachability.

Do not use this skill when the UART link itself is unproven; confirm the modem echoes AT with OK at the configured baud first.
