In general the geolocation of the base station is not available without and with connection, you need to implement an additional lookup.

In the nRF Asset Tracker example we show how to resolve cell geolocations using Unwired Labs' API: https://nordicsemiconductor.github.io/asset-tracker-cloud-docs/saga/docs/guides/CellGeolocations.html

The nRF Connect for Cloud REST API also has a method for resolving single cell locations: api.nrfcloud.com/v1

Thank you!

No, we do not have any samples similar to that. We are not using GSM either.

You will need to look in the DevZone forum.

Hi, thanks!

Do you know whether the coordinates of a BS are available, with or without connection? I found this example, and I am looking for something similar.

Hello Marius,

Our nRF91 AT Commands documentation is found in our Infocenter. The closest command I can find is AT%NBRGRSRP. The set command reads measured Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) values of neighboring cells.

To test AT commands, please look at the AT_client sample or use the built-in AT client in Asset Tracker application.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
