The SparkFun Thing Plus nRF9160 Microcontroller featuring the powerful Nordic nRF9160 microcontroller in a Feather-compatible footprint.

Not only can you take advantage of Nordic’s advanced power states, but you can also put the device into a low-power standby state.

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 the handy Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of your system.

Laboratory measurements are putting that mode at about 2µA of current. 2µA! It also features a 3.3 V Buck-Boost which helps get every mWh from your batteries as possible.
