This is an amazing combination of RATs, congratulations to the Blues team on bringing this to market.

After reading the announcement, I have a few newbie questions:

  • I understand that it’s positioned as a drop-in for existing Notecards. Are there firmware changes required? I believe note.template must be used? Is there a migration how-to for how to incorporate Notecard for Skylo as a revision of an existing product currently using cellular?

  • Given the very low bandwidth available with NTN networks, is there a firmware notification that that informs the host of which RAT is in use when it changes?

  • 10kb NTN data usage is bundled - how many events does that correspond to? For reference, we could use an event that reports the current device temperature. How much of that 10kb is “real data” vs overhead used by the system?

  • How much does it cost to add additional NTN data?

Thanks!
