Nordic Semiconductor will showcase a broad portfolio of wireless connectivity and cloud solutions at Embedded World North America next month, as the Norwegian company continues its transition from a pure hardware maker into a full wireless solutions provider.
The Oslo-based firm, known for its ultra-low-power wireless chips, will demonstrate new technologies spanning Bluetooth, cellular IoT, satellite connectivity, and Edge AI at booth 6033, Hall C – Level 1, at the Anaheim Convention Center from 4th to 6th November.
“Embedded World North America is the ideal opportunity to demonstrate that Nordic now offers a complete chip-to-cloud platform combining world-class hardware, embedded software, and cloud lifecycle services,” said Øyvind Strøm, EVP Short-Range at Nordic Semiconductor. “By accelerating innovation across the entire value chain, we are giving developers the tools to build smarter, faster, and more reliably than ever.”
Among the highlights will be an industry-first open-source Android app for Bluetooth Channel Sounding, which allows accurate distance measurement between Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices. The demo, using Nordic’s nRF54L Series hardware and a Google Pixel 10 smartphone, showcases reliable ranging accuracy of ±1 metre over 20 metres.
Nordic will also unveil the nRF54LM20A System-on-Chip (SoC), the latest addition to its nRF54L Series. The device features 2MB of non-volatile memory and 512KB of RAM, doubling processing power and tripling efficiency compared with the company’s previous flagship, the nRF52 Series.
In the cellular IoT space, Nordic’s ThingyWorld demo will highlight asset tracking via LTE-M, NB-IoT, and non-terrestrial networks (NTN), enabling global connectivity through satellites for the first time. Devices such as the nRF9151 module and Thingy:91 X can report their locations via GNSS, Wi-Fi, and cellular data using Nordic’s nRF Cloud powered by Memfault.
The Memfault acquisition earlier this year has strengthened Nordic’s position in device observability and lifecycle management. The integration brings advanced crash reporting, health monitoring, and over-the-air update capabilities to nRF Cloud, creating what Nordic describes as “a full device observability and management platform”.
Further demonstrations will include an Edge AI showcase using the company’s Neuton framework, which runs gesture recognition on a Thingy:53 development board with minimal latency and memory footprint. Another demo will highlight Nordic’s latest power management ICs, including the nPM2100 PMIC, which supports accurate over-the-air fuel gauging for non-rechargeable batteries.
The company said the event marks an important milestone in its evolution, positioning Nordic as a comprehensive provider of wireless technology “from chip to cloud”.
