NB IoT, nRF9160 SiP. sim card/antenna?

[Chirag Panchal]

Hi,

is nRF9160 SiP comes with eSIM? or do I need to insert external SIM in socket which is traditional method?

Do I need to external chip antenna? does that antenna is same for NB-IoT and GPS ? or I need to connect two different antenna?

Hi, 

Based on iBasis network coverage it does not mention India, or more importantly that LTE-M or NB-IoT support has not yet been deployed in India: https://www.gsma.com/iot/deployment-map/

So when using the iBasis SIM in your smartphone it was using another technology than LTE-M/NB-IoT to communicate.
