nRF93M1: plans to expose LTE Timing Advance through the AT command interface?

Hello Nordic Support,

I am developing a cellular positioning solution using an nRF93M1 LTE Cat 1 bis module.

I currently use the following command to retrieve the serving cell and neighboring-cell measurements:

AT%BCINFO=3,20

The command provides:

- EARFCN
- PCI
- RSRP
- RSRQ
- MCC/MNC
- E-UTRAN Cell ID
- TAC

However, it does not appear to provide the LTE Timing Advance for the serving cell.

On the nRF91/nRF91x1 family, the %NCELLMEAS response includes a
<timing_advance> field and its measurement timestamp. I could not find an
equivalent documented command or response field in the current nRF93M1 AT
Commands Reference Guide.

Timing Advance would be useful for improving third-party cellular positioning
requests, for example when using APIs that accept the serving-cell Timing
Advance in addition to ECI, TAC, PCI, EARFCN, RSRP, and neighbor measurements.

Could you please clarify:

1. Is the serving-cell Timing Advance currently available through any nRF93M1
AT command or diagnostic interface?
2. If not, is support planned for a future nRF93M1 module firmware release?

Thank you

marco
