no connection ?

Hello,

Just received the nRF9160-DK and followed instructions but it seems there is no connection, only LED3 is blinking

Location is  Belgium close to Brussels

Hi,

I had the same issue a while ago. The LTE-M network of Orange is only fully deployed in Brussels centre.

If you have a contact person at Orange, you can request them to activate LTE-M on the antenna closest to your location.

Kind regards,

Jakob

Hi Jakob,

I heard from Orange last year that LTE-M  was ready but not activated, I expected it should be now....

What about Proximus ?

What about NB-IoT

Is the DK trying only LTE-M ?

Kind regards,

The standard firmware of the nrf9160-DK is LTE-M. So the device will try to connect to the cloud over LTE-M.

They are ready for LTE-M it seems, but only updating their antenna's if needed. I have not tried Proximus.

I do have some news.

Following advice of Jakob I contacted Orange (I know people there).

They activated the cell near to me, and the nrF9160-DK connects, and sends messages to nrfcloud!!

Great to hear :-)
