In addition to the nRF9160 SiP with its full integration of hardware and software, you also need a connectivity provider with SIM and data plan to get connected. Just as Nordic Semiconductor partners with distributors to improve support and availability, we also partner with connectivity providers to get you connected faster and easier.
Why seamless connectivity is critical to your success
iBASIS Global Access for Things™ is an IoT device connectivity service, delivering single source cellular IoT access (LTE, LTE-M and NB-IoT) worldwide provisioned through GSMA standard eSIM/eUICC technology. The solution simplifies IoT device connection through one unified platform for seamless, remote, programmable, and secure communication.
Rather than negotiating contracts with multiple mobile operators around the world, iBASIS Global Access for Things™ can be your single source for global mobile access.

iBasis Be There First
The Nordic Semiconductor and iBASIS partnership has been recognized for powering ultra-easy global IoT connectivity within Nordic’s nRF9160 cellular IoT module. The partnership has culminated in the first ever massive field testing across 24 countries, completely invalidating any question marks over cellular IoT and eSIM technology used in NB-IoT and LTE-M Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) use cases.
As a result of the partnership, thousands of Nordic Developers are able to integrate the Nordic module with iBASIS Open eSIM – right out of the box – as they design and build the next generation of IoT devices. Generating explosive growth in development, the iBASIS and Nordic solution leverages the iBASIS single global, remotely programmable eSIM to ensure that IoT devices are powered with the most flexible solution for the highest performance and most cost-effective IoT connectivity.
The iBASIS eSIM has been integrated with the Nordic development kit experience to allow developers to quickly get their development kit connected to a cellular network just about anywhere in the world.
for LTE-M and NB-IoT
For cellular embedded devices, there are a few parameters that are critical, for example LTE-M and NB-IoT coverage in specific regions of interest. iBasis network coverage on a country by country basis can be found on their web page.
