Development kit for global LTE, smart and IoT applications

Mouser now supplies Nordic Semiconductor's nRF9151-DK development kit. This pre-certified single-board dev kit evaluates and develops Nordic's nRF9151 SiP for LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS, and DECT NR+ applications, including asset tracking, smart metering, smart city and agriculture, predictive maintenance, portable medical devices, and Industry 4.0/5.0.

The dev kit features a dedicated LTE-M, NB-IoT, and DECT NR+ antenna that supports a wide range of bands (LTE bands B1-B5, B8, B12, B13, B17-B20, B25, B26, B28, B65, B66 and B85 are supported), and operates globally. The PCB includes an integrated patch antenna for GNSS and SWF RF connectors to measure RF signals while enabling external antennas.

The kit is Arduino Uno Rev3 compatible. It provides the same coverage as the nRF9151 SiP while permitting easy interfacing with external device shields. It features four user-programmable LEDs and four buttons for input and output. The kit is supported by comprehensive development software, tools, and resources, including the Nordic Developer Academy's Cellular IoT Fundamentals course. It is supplied pre-flashed with the company's Serial LTE Modem application for interfacing through AT Commands.

Programming and debugging for the nRF9151-DK are enabled via the onboard SEGGER J-Link, which supports programming and debugging external targets. The kit supports the use of Software SIM and is shipped with a SIM card that is pre-loaded with free data. It also has a nano/4FF SIM card slot and an MFF2 SIM footprint to support plug-in and soldered (e)SIMs.
