Hi Jason,

there are no plans from us to add the LTE cat1 bis support to the nRF91 family of devices.

Best regards

Two of our global mnvo are reporting that nb-iot is scheduled for depracation by at least two major carriers and that lte-m is still not well supported especially in major European countries. That the strong recommendation is to ensure the module has a fall back to cat 1bis and even 3g.

are there plans and is the 9151 radio capable of cat 1bis ?

we are about to commit to the 9151 but now need to answer the issues raised by our mnvos

appreciate the reply.

Hello Lizer,

LTE Cat-1 bis is an adaptation of the "old" network infrastructure to support IoT modes by simplifying the old LTE to make it possible to create smaller applications using the same infrastructure. Our nRF91 devices support LTE-M and NB-IOT which are new standards and require new infrastructure (that is already in place).

Best regards
