It should be noted that the FiPy does not support regular LTE connectivity and you may require a special SIM. It is best to contact your local cellular providers for more information on acquiring a LTE CAT-M1/NB-IoT enabled nano SIM.

### Deep Sleep current issue {#deep-sleep-current-issue}
|
||||
|
||||
The LoPy, SiPy, and WiPy 2.0 experience an issue where the modules maintain a high current consumption in deep sleep mode. This issue has been resolved in all newer products. The cause for this issue is the DC to DC switch mode converter remains in a high performance mode even when the device is in deep sleep. The flash memory chip also does not power down. A more detailed explanation can be found [here.](https://forum.pycom.io/topic/1022/root-causes-of-high-deep-sleep-current)

If you intend on using the LoRa/Sigfox connectivity of the FiPy you **must** connect a LoRa/Sigfox antenna to your FiPy before trying to use LoRa/Sigfox otherwise you risk damaging the device.
|

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

The FiPy only supports LoRa on the 868MHz or 915MHz bands. It does not support 433MHz. For this you will require a LoPy4.

||||
* If you are using a pycase, you will next need to put the SMA connector through the antenna hole, ensuring you align the flat edge correctly, and screw down the connector using the provided nut.

The external antenna is optional and only required if you need better performance or are mounting the FiPy in such a way that the WiFi signal is blocked. Switching between the antennas is done via software, instructions for this can be found [here.](https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/pycom/network/wlan.html)
