Nordic Semiconductor unveiled a next-generation cellular Internet of Things (IoT) portfolio that the company presented as providing secure and resilient connectivity across billions of IoT devices.

The company described the expansion as an extension of its ultra-low-power cellular IoT products and technologies intended to address evolving network and satellite Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) capabilities and global connectivity requirements.

The technical update introduced two new series alongside enhancements to existing modules: the nRF92 Series combined a high-performance application MCU with ultra-low-power edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Nordic's Axon NPUs (Neural Processing Units), a multi-constellation GNSS receiver, Wi‑Fi locationing, and sensor co-processing; the nRF93 Series and its nRF93M1 modules offered higher throughput (10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink), global Long Term Evolution (LTE) support, built-in Wi‑Fi location capabilities, and integration with cloud and remote management features.

Nordic also detailed updates to the nRF91 Series, including the nRF9151 module with 3GPP-compliant Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and LEO Constellation (Low Earth Orbit) (LEO) satellite NTN connectivity and sub‑GHz fallback, plus the nRF91M1 Smart Modem module with an AT-command interface and secure cloud integration; the nRF93M1 modules were described as fully integrated with National Resilience Framework (NRF) Cloud and supporting FOTA, observability, remote debugging, and location services, and demonstrations were scheduled for MWC Barcelona 2026 and Embedded World 2026.

“Nordic is building the next era of cellular IoT, and we are expanding our portfolio to give developers the most trusted, power-efficient, and scalable connectivity platform for billions of devices worldwide,” said Vegard Wollan, CEO at Nordic Semiconductor. “Our goal is to make globally connected products easier to build, deploy, and scale – from chip to cloud.” “This expansion marks a defining moment for Nordic's long-range strategy,” said Oyvind Birkenes, EVP Long-Range at Nordic Semiconductor.

Lead customer sampling for the nRF92 Series was underway; General Availability (GA) for the nRF93M1 was scheduled to start in mid-2026 and for the nRF92 Series from early 2027, and Nordic said it was collaborating with lead customers on next-generation 5G eRedCap technologies.
