1. Introduction
This evaluation kit (EVK) serves as a carrier board for users to evaluate Avnet’s AVT9152
module. The module consists of a Nordic nRF9160 dual mode LTE-M/NB-IoT modem and
Nordic nRF52840 Bluetooth 5.0 SoC.
The EVK comes with temperature, humidity, pressure, accelerometer, gyroscope and motion
sensors. It serves as an enabling platform for users to develop their IoT applications with the
embedded SIM onboard.
The on-board BLE antenna provides ease of development. Users can select to have NB-IoT
antenna in SMA or µ.FL connectors, according to their actual product. An µ.FL connector is
available for passive or active GPS antenna. The evaluation kit is included with an external
SMA LTE swivel paddle antenna and an active GPS ceramic patch antenna terminated with
µ.FL connector.
An Arduino UNO interface is provided for users to customize their applications using this EVK,
be it additions of sensors, security IC, user interfaces, etc.
Power input is available via a DC Jack or Lithium battery connector. Users can develop their
solutions with actual power source using this. A wall mount AC-DC universal power adaptor is
included also.
