Intention to implement BT and NFC in nrf91 series devices?

[sadara]

I know Nordic is releasing the nrf9160 on the 12/12/2018, and from what little documentation I can find it doesn't seem to have BT or NFC hardware integrated.

Are there any plans in the (near) future to introduce a Cat-M/BT/NFC SoC?

Sadara, I do remember reading that there will be a tight integration between the nRF91 and the nRF52 series therefore providing BLE and NFC easily.

I'm sure like me we'll just have to wait until the public release, we've many questions but need to get me hands on the DK first.

Hello, 

We are interested to use NFC with nRF91 series please could you tell us how we could do this ? because for others series it is included ...

We have a use case where we need LTE-M and NFC.

Thanks for your help

There is no hardware NFC in the nRF9160, so in that case you need to use an external NFC tag, for instance with an I2C interface to interface and control from the nRF9160.
