Will NRF9160 work in the Dominican Republic?

[olalonde]

The product page states "The integrated modem supports both LTE-M and NB-IoT and can operate globally removing any need for regional variants".

However, I was not able to figure out if LTE-M is supported in the Dominican Republic. Can it use regular LTE that mobile phones use as well?

Hi Oliver,

Can it use regular LTE that mobile phones use as well?

No, you will need a SIM card that supports Nb-IoT / LTE-M and not a regular LTE SIM card.. I checked in the IoT deployment map whether there is support for Nb-IoT/ LTE-M in Dominican Republic and unfortunately, there is none at the moment.. You will need to check with your local service providers to get more support regarding the availability of a SIM cards that support either of them.
