I wondered something similar when I clicked the link: "who is still using enough AT commands that a compressed representation would matter, and how would you even DO that?" But this is clearly something else.
- vardump 2y agoAnyone who writes software that uses GSM modems for example. Like in embedded systems.
- marssaxman 2y agoOh, for sure - I've done some of that myself - but I would never associate the word "firehose" with such low-powered systems!
- jpm_sd 2y agoIridium satellite modems too.
