Low power cellular IoT

3rd Party cellular modules

The nRF9160 uses the Arm Cortex-M33 as a dedicated application processor. It has 1MB of flash, 256kB of RAM, and a broad array of peripherals. Beyond its LTE connectivity and positioning options, it is a device capable to support a broad selection of use-cases and offers real edge computing possibilities for the world of cellular IoT. Nordic provides the open-source nRF Connect Software Development Kit that you can use to develop your customized applications on the dedicated application processor.

We shipped more than 350 million wireless Bluetooth Low Energy ICs last year alone, and with more than 40 % market share, we can confidently state that we are the Bluetooth Low Energy market leader. We are extrapolating this success by offering a cellular System-in-Package (SiP) that combines our low power DNA with more than 2000+ engineering years of cellular expertise. The result is the nRF9160 SiP. The most compact and low-power solution in the market. Its size, low power consumption, and fully open application processor make previously unfeasible products feasible, enabling true cellular IoT.

We are on a mission to make it easy as possible to develop a low-power cellular product. It is cellular IoT made easy. Everything should be easy, from getting started with a development kit to certifying your product. Ease of use is essential in everything we offer our customers, not only when it comes to the nRF9160 SiP itself, but when it comes to development kits, software, tools and documentation. Everything is developed in-house by Nordic, meaning you have one channel where our great support team can support you with anything you need.
