nRF91 Migration Kit
Test nRF9151 in the device you already built
Upgrade to Nordic
Struggling with battery lifetime, supply chain exposure, fragmented documentation or support?
Nordic can help. Test now with an interposer board that drops into your existing cellular module footprint.
Your host MCU software talks to it over UART AT commands on day one. No PCB redesign, no toolchain setup.
Why Nordic
Cellular IoT made easy
You get development kits, real-time power profiling, debug tools, an AI-accelerated development flow, and one SDK across every Nordic product. Documentation, serial modem application source code, and DevAcademy trainings are open to anyone, with no NDA required.
Nordic owns the full stack, chip to cloud. You get one point of contact from the first AT command to a deployed fleet of devices.
Built to last a decade
One globally certified modem firmware, hardened across hundreds of designs and multiple use cases. Nordic maintains the certifications and modem firmware, and keeps your products reproducible for their lifetime.
Stack maturity and radio performance proven in the field. Over nine days of testing, packet loss ran 4x lower than the incumbent modules.1
Globally certified
One globally certified module carries LTE-M, NB-IoT, and now NTN satellite, with GCF and PTCRB approval plus the regional and operator certifications you inherit rather than pursue.
The single nRF9151-LACA SKU worldwide means a single part to stock, qualify, certify, and ship instead of a matrix of regional variants, builds, and maintenance.
The nRF9151 migration kits
Pick your footprint, and we will ship the matching migration kit.
nRF9151-MK-BG95
Migration Kit for Quectel BG95 module sockets
nRF9151-MK-GM02S
Migration Kit for Sequans Monarch 2 GM02S module sockets
Both kits ship the same way: a pin-compatible interposer board with the nRF9151 onboard, plus firmware and documentation online. Your host MCU talks over the same UART from the first AT command. Open documentation covers product specifications, AT commands, and power measurement. Nordic support covers evaluation and development.

More reasons to move
Years on one battery
Smart power management cuts power consumption by up to 90%, with more predictable battery lifetime.2 Measure it yourself with the Power Profiler Kit, in your own hardware.
Cloud services integrated
Device management, security, location services, and CRA-compliant (EU Cyber Resilience Act) firmware updates over the air for both the host application and the modem. Get started for free.
Connectivity your way
Start with an nRF9151 next to your existing host MCU, exactly as the kit ships. Next, move the application onto the nRF9151 with the open application MCU and remove the external host. Same module, same SDK, no second migration.
- Nine-day field trial on a customer end device. Packet loss: nRF9151 0.27%, reference module 1 1.04%, reference module 2 1.20%.
- LTE-M connection, 200-byte payload, UDP over IPv4, Telia Finland. nRF9151 Smart PSM compared with modem on/off cycling.
