Nordic Semiconductor, a trailblazer in low-power wireless solutions, has been honored with the ‘Communication Technology Innovation Award’ at the OFweek 9th IoT Awards 2024. This accolade celebrates the groundbreaking nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP), a cellular IoT solution renowned for its compact design, superior performance, and versatility.
The OFweek IoT Awards, hosted by China’s premier high-tech portal, OFweek, are among the most esteemed recognitions in the IoT domain. These awards aim to honor outstanding IoT innovations, selecting winners through expert evaluations and public voting.
nRF9151: Compact Powerhouse for Cellular IoT
Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 SiP redefines efficiency and performance in cellular IoT. The SiP integrates a multimode modem, advanced processing capabilities, and robust security, all within a significantly compact design. Compared to its predecessor, the nRF9161, the nRF9151 achieves a 20% reduction in size, making it ideal for applications where space is a premium.
Supporting LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS, and DECT NR+, the nRF9151 complies with 3GPP Release 14 standards to ensure compatibility with cutting-edge cellular technologies. It also features Power Class 5 (20 dBm) and Power Class 3 (23 dBm), offering enhanced flexibility for optimizing power consumption, particularly for battery-operated devices.
One of the most revolutionary features is its compatibility with Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), enabling connectivity in remote and inaccessible locations, which opens new frontiers for global IoT deployments. Additionally, the nRF9151 ensures resilience against supply chain disruptions, including U.S. tariff challenges.
Tailored for IoT and DECT NR+ Applications
Designed specifically for cellular IoT and DECT NR+ applications, the nRF9151 is a game-changer in markets like asset tracking, smart metering, building automation, transportation, smart cities, and agriculture.
Bjørn Åge “Bob” Brandal, VP of Sales and Marketing for the Asia Pacific at Nordic Semiconductor, said, “The nRF9151 sets a new standard for compact and integrated cellular IoT solutions. It simplifies the development process by integrating Nordic’s hardware, software, tools, and cloud services into one cohesive solution.”
