" To configure the LTE connection parameters, refer to the LTE link control Kconfig options. These options can be used to select the access technology to use (LTE-M or NB-IoT), default values for Power Saving Mode (PSM) timers and more."

It seems to me that you can choose in the Asset Tracker application.

In general, maybe this whitepaper would be interresting to you: Best practices for cellular IoT development

Thank you very much for the reply. My project requires to be able to use both technologies. In some areas, the device should connect via LTE-M, in some areas NB-IoT. Thats why for me it is very important that both technologies are available even though there might be some drawbacks.

If you use a TCP base protocol, LTE-M has advantages. NB-IoT will come with larger RTT, sometimes, very low signal, too large for TCP.
