Hi,

Are you certain that you have LTE-M coverage in your area? Looks like the network rejects it.

Try setting CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE_NBIOT_GPS=y

Kind regards,

Håkon

I tried running the lte_ble_gateway example now to test establishing a lte connection using the same hardware but the nRF Connect SDK V 2.9.0 and Toolchain V 2.9.0, but there the following messages were shown:

with cause #15 being: No suitable cells in tracking area

I tried 2 different SIM Cards as well as 2 antennas and 2 boards, but the issues remains. Is it possible this is an certificate problem?

Hey, thanks for your reply.

I am using the nrf connect SDK v 2.4.3 and Toolchain v 2.9.0 on an Actinius Icarus board. The board runs on custom software I am not yet entirely familiar with. I hope this information is what you were looking for.

Kind regards

Hello,

what version of the nRF Connect SDK are you building with? Are you testing with a sample or your own custom project? Is this custom hardware or a development kit? Can you please provide more information on you whole setup?

Kind regards,
Øyvind
