nRF9160 Jio India Nb-IoT Cell Handover

[purr]

Hi everyone,

We’re currently using the nRF9160 module with JIO Nb-IoT SIMs in our devices. Could anyone clarify if any specific actions are needed in the firmware for cell handover or cell selection as the device moves between locations? JIO has indicated that nothing is required on their end, but they’ve suggested we confirm with Nordic.

If anyone has experience with this or guidance to share, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello,

From the perspective of the nRF Cloud firmware, we don't believe there's anything on our side that can address the issue of "large location jumps." You will need to rely on GPS or another location method of your choice to mitigate this.

If you're looking to configure the modem, I recommend referring to the modem AT command documentation. If you have any specific questions, feel free to let me know , I can take a look or involve the modem team as needed.

Kind regards,
Abhijith
