Quick Start

Quick Start

Congratulations on receiving your Pebble Tracker.

This guide will help you quickly register it on the IoTeX blockchain and get started with using it.

Unboxing

Before turning on your Pebble Tracker, let's take a look at what's in the box:

Finding a SIM Card

Pebble Tracker connectivity supports both LTE-M and Narrowband-IoT cellular technologies, which provide radio bands that are optimised for IoT applications like smart metering, industrial controls, residential security, etc.

IoTeX has partnered with 1NCE, an IoT SIM cards provider that covers over 100 countries and regions globally, providing a convenient data plan: if your country is covered, you can buy a Pebble-ready SIM card on the dedicated IoTeX "Autobahn.earth" portal:

If your country is not currently covered by the 1NCE network, below are some useful information for you to find a working SIM card for your Pebble Tracker:

Is your country covered by the Narrowband-IoT network?

Please check if either NB-IoT or LTE-M is available in your Country on the gsma website. Once you know which technology is supported, please find a local or international provider where you can buy a SIM card that supports the correct technology for your country.

Make sure the IoT SIM card you buy supports either NB-IoT or LTE-M

Please notice that Pebble tracker does not support GSM, 3G, or 4G bands: make sure your SIM card provider supports either NB-IoT or LTE-M or both in your country.

If you have issues finding a working SIM card, please join this forum discussion where other community members share their experiences with different SIM card providers in their country:

Installing the SIM card

Once you have a SIM card, use a paperclip or the provided SIM card tool to open the SIM slot and push the card inside:
