Electronics Weekly
Specifically, the 3GPP compliant, low earth orbit (LEO), Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity capabilities of the system. These will be made available by a future firmware release.
The company will be highlighting its role for IoT, it says, especially for small and cost-sensitive IoT devices. It instances its own Thingy:91 X multi-sensor cellular IoT prototyping platform, for achieving standardised connectivity from anywhere.
Note that the demo will be in collaboration with Keysight Technologies.
“Satellite connectivity brings resilience and connectivity to remote and critical IoT applications anywhere on the planet,” says Oyvind Birkenes, Nordic Semiconductor’s EVP of BU Long Range. “This collaboration with Keysight is important, enabling the integration of a standardised solution into Nordic’s broad portfolio of connectivity options.”
For Keysight’s part, Lucas Hansen, VP of Wireless Devices and Operators added:
“This collaboration between Nordic and Keysight transforms 3GPP-compliant LEO NTN connectivity from vision to reality. Nordic’s ultra-low power nRF9151 SiP, combined with Keysight’s Network Emulation Solutions, ensures that major satellite operators, and IoT device manufacturers can realise their vision for a fully connected world.”
The SiP also supports SGP.32 Remote SIM Provisioning.
Nordic will be located at Booth #7G21 in Hall 7.
