Hello,
We have a Digi Connect IT Mini. With the SIM we currently have, the device will connect via CAT-M. If we want to connect to NB-IOT (we do have both locally) is a new/different SIM required or are there setting in the device?
Thanks,
Chris
I don’t know much about the Connect IT Mini, but I would suggest looking at Digi Connect IT® Mini User Guide
In most cases, the SIM should already be set up for both CAT M and NBiOT services. But it would be a good idea to double check with the Carrier.
If properly configured above, and if there are NBiOT services in the area that are allowing new connections, then it may connect to a tower that is offering NBiOT.
Hi @cpeters1_32950 , the Digi Connect IT Mini is compatible with NB-IOT per the specifications page:

When it comes to connecting different network types like CAT-M and NB-IOT, you may need to check with your SIM provider if a specific SIM is required for NB-IOT. Some providers offer SIMs that can work across multiple IoT networks, but this isn’t always the case. As for your Digi Connect IT Mini, ensure that the settings support NB-IOT connections. Just like configuring IoT devices, implementing pay at the table devices in a restaurant requires checking compatibility and settings to provide seamless payment processing. It’s always good to verify both the hardware and SIM capabilities for the best results.
