This little chip is capable of both CAT M1 LTE and NB-IoT cellular communication and is designed to work with Zephyr, the go-to RTOS for embedded development. To make the Thing Plus even easier to use, this board utilizes our handy Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of your system!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot only can you take advantage of Nordic�s advanced power states, but you can also put the device into a low power standby state. Laboratory measurements are putting that mode at about 2µA of current. 2µA! It also features a 3.3V Buck-Boost which helps get every mWh from your batteries as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo batteries? No problem! Power your nRF9160 Thing Plus externally with a USB-C cable. Keep it on at all times for high availability scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWant to persist data? The nRF9160 Thing Plus has a 4MB external flash for storing data while offline. Using external flash with a filesystem like LitteFS and you�ll have a project to recon with!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/qwiic\"\u003eSparkFun Qwiic Connect System\u003c\/a\u003e is an ecosystem of I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error.
