Hi there and Happy New Year!

I have a BG96 Revision: BG96MAR02A07M1G.

I’m trying to make the AGPS working. It is possible for this firmware?

There is a workable example?

All the best

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for that material! I knew it, but there were some problems.
I had some delay on the production timeline, but we have to deliver after all :).

In the manual there is:

AT+QGPSCFG=“plane”,0 //Set AGPS user plane mode without SSL
OK
AT+QGPSSUPLURL=“supl.google.com:7276” //Set SUPL server URL
OK
AT+QGPSCFG=“lbsapn”,16,1,“vzwinternet” //Set LBS APN
OK
AT+QGPS=2 //Start AGPS MSB mode
OK

My problem is that the provider is Vodafone, with user & pass. How to set up “LBS APN”
I’ve tried several things, but with no luck.

With gpsOneXTRA, I’ve seen some improvement. It would be great to see AGPS, too for comparison.

All the best,
Viorel

Hi Viorel,
I am on the the same boat with above stated problem for AGPS activation. I know its long back you worked on this .
It will be great if you can through some insight on this which worked for you.

Yes, your BG96 module supports AGPS. You can check the Quectel’s documentation for detailed instructions. If you still face issues, consider upgrading your firmware or reach out to Quectel’s technical support for further assistance.

I see your query now. Here’s my solution

AT+QGPSCFG="plane",0
AT+QGPSSUPLURL="supl.google.com:7276"
AT+QGPSSUPLURL?
AT+QCSCON?
AT+QGPS=2
AT+QGPSLOC=2

In order to work you should already have attached the GPRS.
Before do the steps provided I use for tests this protocol
