CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_USE_FALLBACK¶

Use fallback network mode if selected mode fails

Type: bool

Help¶

When enabled, the network mode will be switched to the other
available if the preferred fails to establish connection within
specified timeout.
If LTE-M is selected as the network mode, NB-IoT will be the
fallback mode and vice versa.
Fallback should not be enabled if both LTE-M and NB-IoT are enabled.
Instead, the LTE preference configuration should be used to
instruct the modem on which network to use. This is more efficient
both in terms of time to connection establishment and energy
consumption.

Direct dependencies¶

Default¶
