Transportation

Nordic Semiconductor is ideally positioned to help you build a smart transportation solution that helps move people around more quickly, easily, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Comprehensive wireless connectivity solutions for transportation needs

Smart transportation is a core industry focus for Nordic. By offering every major wireless IoT connectivity technology you could require for transportation, we are a complete provider that allows you to develop the optimum wireless connectivity solution for your needs, whether it is cellular IoT, DECT NR+, low power Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Matter, Thread, or Zigbee.

Making cities smarter and more connected

Nordic offers smart transportation connectivity solutions that increase the efficiency of conventional car use, as well as enabling alternative modes of transport.

Addressing traffic management challenges with Nordic wireless connectivity

Managing the flow of automotive traffic is a top priority to address the serious problems of congestion and pollution. Prime tools include smart roads, tolls, and parking, all of which can be built cost-effectively and reliably using Nordic wireless connectivity solutions.

Wireless technologies for shared micromobility solutions

Shared micromobility solutions – comprising rentable e-bikes, e-scooters, and other lightweight electric vehicles – all require short-range wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth LE, to permit authorized smartphone access and billing. For tracking efficiently through a Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), longer-range wireless technologies such as cellular IoT (LTE-M and NB-IoT), GNSS global positioning, and low power Wi-Fi locationing are required.
