Nordic Semiconductor will showcase a range of wireless solutions at embedded world North America, highlighting the company’s transformation from a wireless chip hardware company into a complete wireless solution partner.
Nordic will be at booth 6033, Hall C – Level 1, at the Anaheim Convention Centre, Anaheim, CA, where the event will be staged from 4-6th 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,” says Øyvind Strøm, EVP Short-Range at Nordic Semiconductor. “By accelerating innovation across the entire value chain, Nordic is giving developers the tools to build smarter, faster, and more reliably than ever. I am especially excited to showcase our industry-first open-source Android app for Bluetooth Channel Sounding – using Nordic’s nRF54L Series for reliable ranging between Bluetooth LE devices.”
Visitors to Nordic’s booth will get an exclusive first look at the nRF54LM20A SoC, the latest addition to Nordic’s next-generation nRF54L Series of ultra-low power wireless SoCs. The nRF54LM20A SoC, expands the nRF54L Series with a high-memory option, featuring 2MB NVM and 512KB RAM, while maintaining the same MCU functionality with a 128MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor and a RISC-V coprocessor. The demonstration will show how all the wireless SoCs in the nRF54L Series deliver twice the processing power, three times the processing efficiency, and up to 50% lower power consumption compared to the previous nRF52 Series.
The Bluetooth Channel Sounding demo will showcase the first open-source Android app for ranging between a smartphone and Bluetooth LE device, using Nordic’s nRF54L15 Development Kit acting as a channel sounding reflector, and a Google Pixel 10 smartphone. The demo will not only show end-to-end interoperability between Android 16’s built-in Bluetooth Channel Sounding API and algorithm and Nordic’s hardware and Bluetooth stack, but also reliable and accurate distance estimation of ±1m up to 20m range. Bluetooth Channel Sounding reflector capabilities are supported by all nRF54L Series SoCs, with straightforward development using a sample application from the nRF Connect SDK.
From Nordic’s cellular IoT portfolio, the ThingyWorld global cellular IoT and NTN asset tracking demo will showcase how Nordic’s cellular devices such as the nRF9151 SiP module and Thingy:91 X can connect around the world via LTE-M, NB-IoT and NTN, sharing device location using GNSS, Wi-Fi, and cellular location features captured from nRF Cloud powered by Memfault. By supporting NTNs using NB-IoT via satellites, Nordic’s cellular devices enable true planet-wide asset tracking for the first time.
Following Nordic Semiconductor’s recent acquisition of Memfault, nRF Cloud powered by Memfault, brings Memfault’s proven observability and OTA infrastructure directly into nRF Cloud, Nordic’s established Cloud services platform. The result is a full device observability, device management, and location services platform enabling developers to monitor, manage, and update their devices with unprecedented ease and efficiency. The embedded hardware observability demo will showcase how nRF Cloud powered by Memfault can capture comprehensive crash data and device health metrics from embedded devices and use nRF Cloud to identify faults and regressions in key quality metrics across an entire IoT fleet.
Other highlights will include a live Edge AI demo running an Edge AI model, using Nordic’s new Neuton Edge AI framework, on the Nordic Thingy:53. The model recognises seven ‘gestures’ in just 1.7ms, while only using 4KB of memory. The revolutionary Neuton neural network framework brings scalable, high-performance AI to even the most resource-constrained devices and can power a wide range of applications from media control, and home automation to gaming, AR/VR, and industrial equipment. Another demo will showcase Nordic’s range of power management ICs (PMICs), and specifically how the nPM2100 PMIC can be used to perform high accuracy OTA fuel gauging on an application using a non-rechargeable battery.
