Network coverage in Germany?

Hello,

after I could not use the nRF9160 DK I bought almost a year ago in Germany due to the missing nb-iot coverage I was very curious about the Thingy91 and I assumed that coverage in Germany, Berlin is possible now? Unfortunately, I can't get an LTE connection in the middle of Berlin. A screenshot of the nRF Connect Tool is attached. During a network search, I always get the following error "Network search failed: Error: 'AT+COPS=?
timed out"

Can you confirm that the Thingy91 works in Germany, Berlin?

Kind regards Jakob

  • Hi Sritam,

    It's nothing wrong with your setup.

    The information on the right-hand side in the LTE Link Monitor as well as the "UICC","PDN ++ values won't be updated unless you receive the information from AT commands from the modem.

    This is made easy if you have "Automatic requests" enabled in the settings.
    This means that you can send the "AT+CFUN?" command and the LTE Link monitor application will run through a script that sends all the necessary AT commands to update the parameters in the right-hand side.

    As long as your application is also running the AT Host library you should be able to do this.

    At_client sample does this, but also most of the examples in NCS has this library enabled as default for easy checking network status etc.
