Nordic Semiconductor, a global contributor in low power wireless connectivity solutions, collaborates with Deutsche Telekom, a global contributor in integrated telecommunications, to introduce a game-changing Internet of Things (IoT) solution aimed at enhancing global connectivity for embedded devices. Launching at Mobile World Congress (MWC), Barcelona, March 3-6, the Make Everything Cellular Connected (MECC) solution, based on the nRF9151 System-in-Package, will provide a fully integrated, scalable solution, designed to streamline IoT adoption for developers worldwide. Attendees can explore the innovation at the Deutsche Telekom booth hall 3 at booth 3M31.
At the core of the MECC is Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 cellular module, the lowest-power cellular IoT solution on the market. Delivering battery lifetime performance, the nRF9151 is a highly integrated, globally certified module to streamline IoT connectivity. The nRF9151 will be available through Deutsche Telekom, equipped with a pre-activated, integrated nuSIM. This setup ensures seamless connectivity across Deutsche Telekom’s extensive network and its roaming partners, addressing the critical need for reliable and effortless connectivity in the IoT space.
Industry leaders in partnership
“At last year’s Mobile World Congress, we outlined our vision to achieve universal cellular connectivity,” said Oyvind Birkenes, the EVP of the long range business unit at Nordic. “It’s rewarding to see our vision come to life as we now offer a comprehensive solution with Deutsche Telecom that caters to all OEMs and device makers out there.”
“Nordic Semiconductor’s commitment and dedication to low power, exceptional quality and a comprehensive approach to cellular technology made them the ideal partner for this pivotal initiative,” said Dennis Nikles, the managing director of Deutsche Telekom IoT. “This collaboration is set to transform IoT connectivity, making it more accessible and efficient than ever before.”
Bridging the connectivity gap with MECC
Research indicates that only about 25% of smart devices are currently connected via non-cellular networks, posing challenges in remote security, device management, user experiences and supply chain visibility. Deutsche Telekom’s MECC solution aims to close this gap, potentially boosting device connectivity to 100%. This comprehensive package includes connectivity, a modem, location tracking, application hosting and more, all integrated into the nRF9151’s compact 12×11 mm package.
OEMs and device makers stand to benefit immensely from this streamlined approach. By adopting the MECC solution, they can simplify their supply chains, reduce dependency on managing multiple connectivity solutions, and enhance overall security and network management. Deutsche Telekom will be the single point of contact, delivering the nRF9151 with built-in access to managed network services.
Meet us at MWC
Deutsche Telekom (booth hall 3 at booth #3M31) and Nordic Semiconductor (booth #7G21) invite attendees to visit their booths at MWC to see the MECC solution first-hand and explore the vast possibilities it opens up for connected devices worldwide.
