NRF9161 SIM Card Interface

[Kaveh.M]

Hi, 

I am evaluating using NRF9161-LACA in a design. Is it possible to activate this chip with esim? Or we have to use a physical sim card for it? 

Please let me know, 

Thanks

Hello,

E-SIM and SoftSIM is suported in the nRF9161.. It is not necessary to use a physical SIM.. See here: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ug_nrf9161_dk/page/UG/nrf91_DK/hw_description/sim_esim.html and https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrfxlib/nrf_modem/doc/softsim_interface.html 

Regards,
