Trouble connecting to Bell CAT-M network

[SwiftLabsLuke]

I'm having trouble connecting the nRF9160 DK to the Bell LTE CAT-M network.  Running the Link Monitor tool with the at_client flashed on the device, the DK only reports bands 3,4,13,20 as available, however Bell needs band 12.  How can I enable band 12?  I've tried with both a Bell sim and the iBasics sim with the same result.

AT+CGMR shows mfw-m1_nrf9160_0.6.6-46.prealpha as the FW load.

Hi,

Band 12 is still under ongoing certifications, so it's not supported. See this link.

What country are you located in ?

[SwiftLabsLuke]

I'm in Ontario Canada. 

Do you have a timeline for more bands to be cert'ed?

[Sigurd]

I believe band 12 will be certificated in April. When that happens, we will publicly release a new modem FW with band 12 unlocked.
