&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]How low does the cell quality have to be to get other towers in that list?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The modem will report back with neighboring cells if there are any available, ie: if it is actively searching due to mobility reasons.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]If I&amp;#39;m using the Zephyr RTOS, are there API&amp;#39;s that expose more information and other cell towers?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;No, it is not possible now. The neighboring cells at command&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;%NBRGRSRP gives the RSRP of your nearby cell, but it gives the physical cell ID, which is different from the cell ID.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;More info on this matter can be found in this thread:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42310/nrf9160-zephyr-ncs-zte-m-nb-iot-multiple-cell-tower-rssi"&gt;https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42310/nrf9160-zephyr-ncs-zte-m-nb-iot-multiple-cell-tower-rssi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
