LTE-M Signal Boosting for nRF9160 DK

Hi Nordic,

I bought an nRF9160 DK for use in the UK on o2's network, but the signal in my home office is poor resulting in me having to go to the window to get connectivity. Are there any devices one can use to boost the signal - so I can work without having to go to the window each time?

  • I live in London, and am not too far from the nearest base station (o2). I am on the ground floor, and there is a block of apartments (4 stories) next to mine, and this makes regular mobile signals patchy for everyone also on the ground floor. However, mobile reception is ok in my 'home office', though LTE-M signal (also on o2's network) only gets picked up by the DK when I go to the window.

    When by the window, RSRQ,RSRP pairs shift slightly as below

    • 1,22
    • 1,17
    • 6,17
    • 6,22
    • 8,16

    I have also attached a screenshot of the LTE Link Monitor.
