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.
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 antenna and
an active GPS ceramic patch antenna terminated with µ.FL connector.
An Arduino 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. A wall mount AC-DC universal power adaptor is included also.
