Compared to previous Nordic Tech Tours, we have set aside additional time during breaks and lunch to ensure you can network with Nordic staff, our partners, and distributors, as well as other attendees. Nordic Tech Tour registrations are already open if you are ready to sign up: https://hubs.li/Q02N05Yk0 #NordicTechTour

Bluetooth SIG has now adopted Channel Sounding as part of Bluetooth v6.0 core specification. We are happy to share the support of the technology in the forthcoming nRF54 Series SoCs.    Channel Sounding changes the game on how Bluetooth Low Energy devices measure distance and detect presence, extending the technology’s flexibility and promising a new range of applications.    “The Bluetooth SIG’s adoption of Channel Sounding significantly enhances the precision of previous Bluetooth distance measuring techniques and encourages innovation across the Bluetooth device ecosystem. Nordic is excited by the possibilities the technology opens up for its customers. Nordic’s plan to support Channel Sounding in the nRF54L and nRF54H Series SoCs, will enable developers to build a range of innovative distance and presence detection applications and get them quickly to market.” Øyvind Strøm   Learn more about Channel Sounding: https://hubs.li/Q02NhtDr0   #Bluetooth #ChannelSounding #BluetoothLowEnergy #nRF54Series

Arendi AG has unveiled a Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio TV streamer, providing high quality streamed audio from a TV, stereo, PC, or similar device to an end user’s Bluetooth LE- or Auracast-enabled headphones, speakers, or hearing aids. It employs our dual core nRF5340 SoC and nRF21540 RF front-end module to deliver low power, long range, reliable wireless connectivity with improved audio quality. "We have for a long time had a good experience working with Nordic, but its early support for LE Audio made our decision to use its solutions an easy one. Specifically, we selected the nRF5340 SoC for our TV streamer because of the dual core performance needed for audio codecs, and the nRF21540 RF FEM for the improved transmission power."

Every day, millions of high-value items are transported across vast distances. From manufactured goods and machine tools to medicines and vehicles, the stakes are high. With 250 million containers in use globally, keeping track of everything is a monumental challenge. We support cellular IoT asset tracking applications by supplying an end-to-end cellular IoT platform that brings simplicity, stability, and cost efficiency to cellular IoT design, manufacture, and deployment. Vendors can access chips, software, and services designed, controlled, and supplied by Nordic. This comprehensive cellular IoT solution saves asset tracker developers considerable time, money, engineering resources, and the frustration that results from dealing with fragmented supply chains.

Earlier this week, Ole-Fredrik Morken, EVP Supply Chain, joined industry leaders at the groundbreaking launch of TSMC’s first European semiconductor fab in Dresden, Germany. This new fab will play a critical role in strengthening the resilience and localization of Europe's semiconductor supply chain, marking a significant milestone for the European semiconductor ecosystem. “I was truly honored and elated to be invited to the groundbreaking launch of TSMC’s first fab in Europe. This milestone will serve the wireless IoT market with key technologies and help Nordic to further secure and optimize the global supply chain of its chips.” Ole-Fredrik Morken #supplychain #TSMC

We have had a great start as a PMIC vendor, with our devices being designed into a wide variety of products. We want to keep developing Power Management products that make a difference in the market and better meet your needs than PMICs from any other vendor. This is where you come in! Our 2024 PMIC preference survey is your opportunity to influence our decision making. We would greatly appreciate you taking a couple of minutes to provide your input about Power Management solutions. Take the survey: https://hubs.li/Q02LR_Wv0

For all interested in DECT NR+, we invite you to join our webinar "Getting started with NR+ PHY" on August 28th.   The DECT NR+ standard is steadily maturing, and with the release of nRF Connect SDK v2.7.0, we introduced the DECT NR+ PHY API as experimental.   In this webinar, you will learn how to get started with the NR+ PHY. We will start with an overview of the DECT NR+ standard before moving on to what we are currently offering on the software and hardware sides. Lastly, there will be a live demo showing how to program your devices for NR+ and use the Hello NR+ sample in the nRF Connect SDK to send NR+ packets between two devices. Join us live at any of the two available time slots, August 28 at 9 AM CEST or 5 PM CEST: https://hubs.li/Q02LHc7J0 #DECT #nRFConnect #DevZone DECT Forum

Over a year has passed since we launched our first Wi-Fi product, the nRF7002 Wi-Fi 6 companion IC. Finn Boetius reflects on what we have accomplished and summarizes it in this video.   We have been at the forefront of low-power wireless connectivity solutions, and our entry into the Wi-Fi market with the nRF7002 has been a significant milestone. We designed the nRF7002 to seamlessly integrate with our existing Bluetooth Low Energy and cellular IoT solutions, providing robust and efficient wireless connectivity for a wide range of applications.   To showcase some of the improvements, we also include a demo project using Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi streaming simultaneously! https://lnkd.in/dvKKF-JA #nRF7002 #WiFi6 #WiFi

Do you want dual-band Wi-Fi 6 in an even smaller package? The nRF7002 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 Companion IC is now available in CSP package in addition to the QFN variant.
