The nRF9161 DK is a hardware development platform used to design and develop application firmware on the nRF9161 System in Package (SiP). The nRF9161 SiP supports DECT NR+ or Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) depending on the installed network protocol firmware.
