Radio Access Technology selection for Arduino MKR NB 1500

/*

  Radio Access Technology selection for Arduino MKR NB 1500

  This sketch allows you to select your preferred 4G

  Narrowband Radio Access Technology (RAT).

  You can choose among CAT-M1, NB-IoT or a combination of both.

  Selecting JUST ONE technology will speed up the modem's network

  registration A LOT!

  The chosen configuration will be saved to modem's internal memory

  and will be preserved through MKR NB 1500 sketch uploads.

  In order to change the RAT, you will need to run this sketch again.

  Circuit:

  - MKR NB 1500 board

  - Antenna

  - SIM card
