 I have a question related to connection quality in LTE with nRF9151: How to achieve best connection? The devices will be deployed in different locations and in best case every device shall use its optimal band.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;There is no need to lock to a&amp;nbsp;a single band. The modem handles band selection automatically using advanced algorithms. When moving to a new location, it will typically start by scanning the band it used last time it was operational, then use its algorithms to determine which band to scan next.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;However, if you know the device will only operate in certain regions, you can restrict bands to match local carriers. This may reduce scan time and power consumption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Benjamin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
