Network issue to work with nRF9160 in INDIA

[Nikunj]

Hello,

I followed getting started guide given in the link below,

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/b/getting-started/posts/getting-started-with-nrf9160-dk

I started with "asset_tracker" default example and also activated iBasis SIM on nRF cloud. LED3 started flashing but LED4 not even after wait of 30 minutes.

I setup SDK successfully then flashed "at_client" for debugging I observed it stucks at LTE network searching.

I also tried with local operator's LTE SIM but it shows the same.

Thanks and Regards,

Nikunj Panchani

Hi Nikunj,

Unfortunately you cannot connect to a live network in India, since the network infrastructure has not yet been updated to support LTE-M or NB-IoT.

When India has this deployed it will co-exist with the other mobile networks.

However if you cannot wait for the infrastructure to get updated, you can set up your own test network with something like a "cmw 500 r&s".

Please contact SM Electronics for more detailed information with regards to this, and they may also give an indication when you will get support for this technologies.

Best Regards,
