Choosing the Right Network Type for Your Superfy Mini

The Superfy Mini connects using either of two low-power cellular technologies: NB-IoT or Cat M1 (LTE-M). In the device's Network Type setting you can choose: 

 How to set the Network Type on your Superfy Mini 

1. On the Device tab, tap the NFC scan button and hold your phone against the Superfy mini to read it.
    
   
    
2.  Hold your phone against the device until the read finishes. 
   
   
    
   
    
3. On the device's detail page, tap Setting.
   
   
4. Switch to the Network tab and tap the Network Type field (it shows the current value, e.g. Auto).
   
5. Choose Auto, NB-IOT Only, or CAT M Only, then go back and tap Write to save it to the device.

When you might lock the Network Type manually

 If you do need to force a specific type — say, for consistency across a fleet of devices, or because a network operator's Cat M1 and NB-IoT signals behave differently in a particular building or vehicle — use the lookup table below to check whether that technology is even available in the country the device will operate in. Locking to a technology that isn't supported there will leave the device with no connectivity, so it's worth checking first. 

Quick reference: where each technology works 

Full flexibility — both NB-IoT and Cat M1 available (21 countries)

In these countries, Auto, NB-IOT Only, and CAT M Only will all work, since a roaming partner supports each technology.

NB-IoT only is available — CAT M Only will not connect (12 countries)

In these countries, use Auto or NB-IOT Only. Do not lock the device to CAT M Only here — there is no Cat M1 (LTE-M) roaming partner, so the device won't connect in that mode.
