Innovate Faster
Build better products and shorten development time
Ultra Low Power
Unique features for prolonged battery life
Connection Quality Indicator
Stop trying to send non-critical data in poor conditions. Based on network conditions, The Connection Quality Indicator (CQI) allows your application to determine the best timing for sending data, and save on power and retransmissions.
Intelligent Network Search Engine
The Intelligent Network Search Engine optimizes power by shortening network search times. Features such as early search termination avoid minutes spent searching for networks when none are available, draining battery life.
Smart PSM
3GPP power saving features such as PSM may not always be granted. Nordic has developed a technology called Smart PSM for intelligent managing power saving transitions. Applications can be significantly more efficient using Smart PSM compared to the traditional brute force modem ON/OFF method
Global Coverage
Resilient operations across telecom operators and Non-Terrestrial Networks
Ultra Low Power LTE-M and NB-IoT globally
Our modules are globally certified and can access LTE-M and NB-IoT networks wherever deployed. One module SKU covers all regions and multiple LEO and GEO NTN networks, saving logistics cost.
Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Satellite access
Connect directly to satellite networks using standardized NB-IoT NTN for 100% global coverage even in the most remote locations. NTN LEO and GEO connectivity is available in one module SKU and that also offer terrestrial LTE-M and NB-IoT support.
Higher bandwidth LTE Cat 1 bis globally
Our certified LTE Cat 1 bis modules deliver ubiquitous global cellular connectivity for medium‑range, data‑intensive IoT applications offering low power consumption in a flexible single‑antenna, small form factor design.
Edge AI for cellular
[Solve existing problems in new and optimized ways
The nRF9151 can run ultra-tiny Neutron AI models built from your data using our patented network-growing algorithm. Their exceptional size and energy efficiency enable on‑device AI on nRF9151, without compromising battery life. As an example, an asset tracker deep inside a shipping container at sea could use a Neuton AI model to distinguish wave motion from delivery truck motion, and save power by adjusting wakeup and transmissions at sea versus on land.
The upcoming nRF92 series adds the Axon NPU is our dedicated AI accelerator core, designed to increase the speed and efficiency of TensorFlow Lite models at the edge. It delivers up to 8× higher energy efficiency and up to 7× faster inference compared to the closest competing solutions and bring capabilities such audio AI. You can integrate and bring capabilities such audio AI directly into your application running inside the nRF92 cellular module, saving power and reducing the need for a host processor.
Locationing
Balance power consumption with position accuracy, all powered by nRF Cloud
Cellular
Cellular network measurements provide low power, globally available positioning, reducing reliance on GNSS for low power tracking outside and indoor with typical accuracy of 100s of meters.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi location using passive signal detection from nearby Wi-Fi Access Points to provide a low power method of location that typically achieve 5-15m of accuracy indoor and outside. No Wi-Fi certification is required. Nordic provides modules with both integrated Wi-Fi location or support for external Wi-Fi companion IC such as the nRF7000
GNNS
Non‑continuous GNSS delivers high‑accuracy positioning on demand, activating GPS only when required to reduce power consumption. This approach enables precise location fixes while maintaining multi‑year battery life in cellular IoT device. Cloud assistance GPS reduces time-to-first-fix from minutes to seconds.
SIM Flexibility
Select from a range of SIM options to provide a design with the right cost, power and size options.
nuSIM integrated SIM (iSIM) removes the need for a physical SIM card. nuSIM is an open standard that enables fully digital provisioning of profiles from supported mobile network operators.
softSIM enables integrated SIM offerings from a range of connectivity providers. Nordic's public softSIM interface allows anyone to select softSIM on nRF91 series.
SGP.32 IoT eSIM is also fully supported as the GSMA standard optimized for IoT remote SIM provisioning.
