nRF9161 Smart Agriculture Monitor
Build a DECT NR+ and cellular agricultural monitoring station with the nRF9161 — combining long-range cellular reporting with local DECT mesh for multi-sensor field networks.
Build a DECT NR+ and cellular agricultural monitoring station with the nRF9161 — combining long-range cellular reporting with local DECT mesh for multi-sensor field networks.
Platform: nRF9161
Next-gen cellular IoT SiP with DECT NR+ support, LTE-M/NB-IoT modem, and GNSS. Enhanced successor to the nRF9160 with improved power efficiency.
Use Case: Smart Agriculture Sensor
Solar-powered field sensor monitoring soil moisture, temperature, light levels, and weather conditions with long-range cellular or LoRa connectivity.
Why This Combination
The nRF9161's DECT NR+ enables low-cost local mesh between field sensors without per-device SIM costs, while the LTE-M/NB-IoT modem aggregates and reports data to cloud dashboards.
Key Protocols
lte-m, nb-iot, dect-nr-plus
