NTN Support and Application Feasibility on nRF9151

Inquiry: NTN Support and Application Feasibility on nRF9151

I would like to seek clarification regarding Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) support on the nRF9151.

There have been discussions and references suggesting NTN capability on the nRF9151, and I would like to better understand the current level of support and practical limitations.

Specifically, I am interested in the following:

1. Resource Availability

  • Which nRF Connect SDK versions include sample applications or support for NTN on nRF9151?

  • Are there example projects, reference code, or documentation demonstrating NTN connectivity in practice?

  • If official samples are not yet available, is there a roadmap or expected timeline for when they might be provided?

  • What type of antenna is required or recommended for NTN operation on the nRF9151?

2. Application Feasibility

We are currently using the nRF9151 with a Hologram eSIM in India, and our solution is working reliably:

  • connectivity

  • Cellular IoT stack

  • Data transmission to a CoAP server

Given this setup:

  • Is a similar application architecture feasible over NTN?

  • Can CoAP-based data transmission be supported over NTN in a comparable manner?

3. SDK Support and Examples

  • I could not find any nRF Connect SDK samples, documentation, or application notes specifically related to NTN on nRF9151

  • Are there any example applications, experimental features, or recommended references available?

  • If not, could you please advise on the current status and roadmap for NTN support on nRF9151?

Any guidance, documentation links, or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.
