ModemManager - Access Technology vs ModemCapability

138 Views Asked by At

The device I am using has a Cinterion® EXS82-W built-in and I am noticing some weird behavior when it comes to Access Technologies and ModemCapatibiliy, IMHO it doesn't make sense, but I guess I am wrong somewhere and would like to know where.

Reading the AccessTechnologies property

busctl get-property org.freedesktop.ModemManager1 /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem AccessTechnologies
u 16384

The value 16384 should correspond to MM_MODEM_ACCESS_TECHNOLOGY_LTE.

Reading the SupportedCapabilities property

busctl get-property org.freedesktop.ModemManager1 /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/Modem/0 org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Modem SupportedCapabilities
au 1 4

The value should correspond to MM_MODEM_CAPABILITY_GSM_UMTS.

Question

How can it be that my modem supports only GSM/UMTS from the general access technology families, but at the same time it is using the LTE technology when registered with or connected to a network?

Thanks and cheers.
