Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 SiP

Nordic Semiconductor today announced that its nRF9160 SiP LTE-M/NB-IoT and GPS cellular IoT module has successfully completed quality assurance and key certifications, and is now in the final silicon production phase for volume production.

Key certifications include GCF and PTCRB, FCC (US and Latin America), CE (Europe), ISED (Canada), ACMA (Australia and New Zealand), TELEC/RA (Japan), NCC (Taiwan), and IMDA (Singapore).

Measuring 10 x 16 x 1mm, the nRF9160 SiP is ideal for small wearable consumer and medical devices, as well as small asset tracking devices, and is a solution that integrates cellular connectivity with IoT applications, requiring only an external battery, SIM, and antenna.

The nRF9160 SiP's modem and MCU have been redesigned for optimized power performance in IoT systems. This enables nRF9160 SiP-based devices to connect to cellular networks with exceptionally low power consumption.
Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 SiP Developer Kit

The nRF9160 SiP is also available in a powerful single-board development kit designed for IoT application developers. The development kit comes with a GitHub-based Software Development Kit (SDK) that supports free development tools, a cloud demo platform, and sample applications to help you easily get started with product development.

To achieve the ultra-high integration of the nRF9160 SiP, Nordic partnered with Qorvo to implement a SiP that integrates the application processor, power management and modem, RF front-end, crystal, and passive components.

The nRF9160 SiP supports global operation through a single SiP family that combines Nordic’s multimode LTE-M/NB-IoT modem and SAW-less transceiver with a custom RF front-end solution from Qorvo.

Additionally, the nRF9160 SiP is a cellular IoT module that integrates Arm's latest Cortex M33 CPU core and supports onboard memory of 1MB flash and 256kB RAM.

The nRF9160 SiP is also the first cellular IoT module to integrate Arm TrustZone and Arm CryptoCell security features to provide Internet-level encryption and application protection for Cortex-M-based devices.

The nRF9160 SiP combines GPS and cellular data to provide more accurate positioning than either technology alone.
