The nRF9160 DK is a low-cost, pre-certified single-board development kit for the nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) for LTE-M and NB-IoT applications. It also comes with an nRF52840 board controller, which can be used to build a Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) gateway, for example. It has a dedicated LTE-M and NB-IoT antenna that can operate globally and supports a wide range of bands. The certification coverage of the nRF9160 DK is the same as that of the nRF9160 SiP.
To support both plug-in and soldered (e)SIMs, the nRF9160 DK features a nano/4FF SIM card slot as well as an MFF2 SIM footprint. It comes with an iBasis sim card with global coverage and 10 MB of data preloaded.

The modem firmware includes the physical layer, LTE stack layers L1-L3, IPv4/IPv6, TCP/UDP, and TLS/DTLS. The application processor interfaces with the LTE modem via BSD secure sockets APIs, and it houses the application layer protocol, such as CoAP, MQTT, HTTP(S), or LWM2M, as well as the user application.
The nRF9160 LTE modem accepts both SIM and eSIM cards, and can be soldered or plugged in. It charges the SIM card and conducts all communication on its own.
