The nRF9160 DK is an affordable single board development kit for evaluation and development on the nRF9160 SiP for LTE-M and NB-IoT. It includes an nRF52840 board controller that for example can be used to build a Bluetooth® Low Energy gateway. It has a dedicated LTE-M and NB-IoT antenna that supports a wide range of bands, to operate globally. It has a dedicated antenna for GPS, and a 2.4 GHz antenna to be used with Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth mesh, Thread and Zigbee. SWF RF connectors are available for all antennas. All GPIOs and interfaces are available via connectors. The kit is Arduino Uno Rev3 compatible, meaning it can be easily interfaced with external device shields. User-programmable LEDs(4), buttons(2) and switches(2) are available to easily give input and get output. The nRF9160 DK has both a 4FF SIM card slot and an MFF2 SIM footprint, to support both plug-in and soldered (e)SIMs. It is bundled with a eSIM card from iBasis preloaded with 10 MB.
