RE: Assistance with Thingy:91

Hi!

-The Thingy:91 is battery powered, with a rechargeable Li-Po battery with 1440 mAh capacity.

-The Thingy:91 is able to share data using a SIM card that supports either NB-IoT or LTE-M. There should be no problem using NB-IoT. The limitations of NB-IoT are mainly that it was developed for stationary devices, so it isn't capable of a seamless handover between cells. If your device will be moving between network cells a lot, this could become a problem. It also isn't good for applications requiring low latency, i.e when a device needs to respond within milliseconds.

-The Thingy:91 is easily connected to our cloud solution, nRF Connect for Cloud, and you can easily retrieve the data on your computer using the nRF Connect for Cloud Device API. We also have samples in NCS (nRF Connect SDK) that let you connect to Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT, and to an MQTT broker. These samples are written for the nRF9160DK but can easily be ported to the Thingy:91.

Let me know if you need more information!

Best regards,

Heidi
