Here's how to control the nRF9160 cellular modem, and what to do about your connection to Golioth when the modem is turned off. When building cellular IoT devices, the modem is often the most costly component in terms of power budget. Connecting to an LTE network also takes time. In both cases, manual control of the LTE connection means you make all the decision on when and how the radio is used.
The nRF7002 is a brand new WiFi chip from Nordic Semiconductor released earlier this month. Getting it up and running with Golioth is easy. Update NCS to the tip of main to pull in the newest driver work from Nordic, and make a configuration file for this board. Eli Hughes shows us how in this guest post.
