How to Speed up LTE-M Development Using the nRF9160 Feather

Proudly partnered with Circuit Dojo and Nordic Semiconductor

This webinar brings together speakers representing each part of the IoT development cycle for LTE-M specific projects. The webinar covers the most critical aspect to consider when developing a solution that leverages LTE-M. Along the way, you will be introduced to the Soracom network, the nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) from Nordic Semiconductor, and the LTE-M Feather development board by Circuit Dojo, which combines both along with NB-IoT functionality, additional hardware features, and helpful firmware tooling.

When is This Webinar?

This webinar will be live on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, at 2 pm EST/11 am PST.

Agenda

To discuss the unique connectivity benefits and limitations of LTE-M we have Brenna Belletti from Soracom joining the webinar. Brenna will present from the perspective of a network provider. She will share what to consider when selecting a network provider, best practices when managing a deployment at scale, and examples of how Soracom is helping IoT innovators bring their vision to market. In addition, she will discuss the energy benefits of selecting LTE-M over other connectivity options and common use cases.

Brenna’s Agenda:

• What to consider when choosing a network provider for your LTE-M Project
• Best Practices for managing a deployment at scale
• How Soracom is helping IoT Innovators 
• Energy Benefits of LTE-M

For diving into the various technologies contained in the nRF9160 SiP, we have Bjørn Kvaale from Nordic Semiconductor joining the webinar. Bjørn will give a brief introduction to the SiP and its worldwide regulatory certification, discuss how it solves security challenges in cellular IoT products, and address the nRF9160’s aptitude for asset tracking as well as its impact on battery life. 

Bjørn’s Agenda:

• Introduction to the nRF9160 SiP and its Worldwide Regulatory Certification
• How the nRF9160 solves security challenges in cellular IoT products
• The nRF9160 and asset tracking
• How the nRF9160 improves battery life

Jared Wolff, the founder of Circuit Dojo and creator of the nRF9160 Feather IoT Development Board, will finish the webinar by discussing the benefits of his dev board and how it drastically lowers the barrier to entry. Next, Jared will walk through the specifications and hardware features of the board. Including firmware, bootloader, power management, onboard flash storage, accelerometer, and GPIO pins.

Jared’s Agenda:

• The Benefits of nRF9160 Feather IoT Dev Board
• Hardware specs and Features
  • Firmware
  • Bootloader
  • Power Management
  • Onboard Flash Storage
  • Accelerometer
  • GPIO Pins

All presenters will be available for live Q&A after the presentation. Soracom will also have staff available to answer questions in a live chat during the event.
