The nRF9151 offers enhanced power options and a reduced footprint for advanced cellular IoT and DECT NR+ applications
Nordic Semiconductor, a leading provider of low power wireless connectivity solutions, announces the expansion of its nRF91 Series cellular IoT devices with the introduction of the nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP).
The nRF9151 further enhances Nordic’s end-to-end cellular IoT solution, which encompasses hardware, software, tools, and nRF Cloud Services, providing advanced capabilities and seamless integration to significantly simplify the development process.
Reduced footprint and new power class support
The nRF9151 offers a compact, pre-certified, and highly integrated device, containing a System-on-Chip (SoC), power management, and RF front-end, all by Nordic Semiconductor. Compared with its nRF91 Series predecessors, it is designed for increased supply chain resilience, and boasts a significant footprint reduction of 20%, allowing more compact products without performance compromises, a particular benefit for wearable devices, smart sensors, and other space-constrained IoT applications.
In addition to its compact size, the nRF9151 adds support for Class 5 20dBm output power, complementing the nominal Class 3 23dBm. This enhancement provides developers with greater flexibility as it eases the requirements for battery-powered products.
