I would like to exchange a data-packages every 2s over a cellular connection to the Notehub. Its a two-way communication that requires a download and upload with a package size of 100bytes. The resulting average baud-rate is on the order of 800bit/s, which is well within the capabilities of a cellular connection.

I worked through the initial example and noticed that each note being sent takes over 10s to send. Is there a way to enable a synch every 2 seconds?

Hi @mprevisic,

If you use a `web.post` instead of a `note.add` request, you’ll see much reduced latency. However, just be aware that there are some considerations when using the web.\* requests, so make sure you [consult the docs on this topic](https://dev.blues.io/api-reference/notecard-api/web-requests/)!

Thanks,  
Rob

Rob,

Thanks that was very helpful and reduced my latency to acceptable levels!
