One of the most important reasons we selected the nRF9160 SiP was the Nordic nRF Connect SDK. To achieve stable performance and low power consumption, we relied heavily on the SDK’s core firmware to optimize our application software. The Nordic team also provided us with excellent support throughout the development process. Our engineers benefitted greatly from the assistance of the Nordic DevZone, which helped speed up the development process.

View the full storyWe used the nRF Connect Software Development Kit [SDK] to build our application entirely in-house – in fact, we were able to use the SDK to prototype parts of our application in a matter of days and develop a field ready beta solution in weeks. The abundance of sample code made it easy to get started, and we found the documentation easy to navigate and helpful as we started to optimize for power and performance.

View the full storyDuring development Nordic’s powerful nRF Connect SDK was of great help. It provides rich development resources and sample codes, covering various functions and application scenarios. We were able to develop and debug our applications more quickly by taking advantage of the sample code and documentation provided by the SDK

We selected the nRF5340 SoC for the high performance application processor and ample memory it provides, while the nRF7002 Wi-Fi Companion IC not only offers the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, but its low power consumption makes it ideal for battery-powered devices. Both the nRF5340 and nRF7002 also meet industrial grade operating temperature requirements from -40 to 85°C, making them suitable for use in harsh environments. We also partner with Nordic because of its excellent brand reputation, and rapid technical support.

From marginally data intensive applications to applications needing occasional high density data, the nRF9160 SiP has been a perfect fit for Rulo. All while consuming very low power and always connected to the cellular network. The nRF9160 also fits very well with the long term roadmap for Rulo, while Nordic’s technical support was first class.

Nordic’s DevZone is the first line of defense when developing hardware and firmware. More often than not, if we had a question, it was already answered in detail on DevZone. If we couldn’t find an answer the response time and quality of response from Nordic’s application engineers was unlike anything else I’ve experienced in the industry. The documentation is also far and away superior to other SiP providers.
Gary Naden, President, Vigilant Onsite
View the full storyWe chose Nordic not just for the quality of its SoC, but for the ease it provides around the development environment, especially with its software development kits. Thanks to the SDKs, firmware development becomes extremely easy and there is no limit to our software development. Aside from the great software, Nordic SoCs come with a very special flexible peripheral mapping feature which allows hardware engineers to annotate as we wish to save a lot of time in schematic design and PCB layout, and more than 30 percent of our total development time. This gives us confidence and peace of mind with our design and allows us to effectively focus on our tasks.
Yasunari Kohashi,
CEO of Braveridge
The awesome low power consumption and long range capabilities of Nordic’s SoCs were a major selling point for us. Also our team has worked with Nordic technology for a long time and the company has the best support I’ve encountered among any of the Bluetooth LE chip companies. This made us very comfortable selecting Nordic as our partner.
