The new cellular IoT devices add Cat 1 bis, satellite NTN, edge AI, and future 5G eRedCap support for low-power designs.
Nordic Semiconductor has announced a significant expansion of its ultra-low-power cellular IoT portfolio at MWC 2026. The update includes two new product families, the nRF92 and nRF93 Series, along with enhancements to the established nRF91 Series. The new devices address evolving LTE-M, NB-IoT, Cat 1 bis, satellite NTN, and future 5G eRedCap requirements.
The nRF92 Series is designed as a highly integrated and power-efficient cellular solution. It combines a high-performance application microcontroller with ultra-low-power edge AI processing enabled by Nordic’s Axon neural processing units. The series also integrates a multi-constellation GNSS receiver, Wi-Fi locationing, and sensor co-processing. Target applications include smart metering, asset tracking, electronic labels, industrial sensors, and wearable devices requiring multi-year battery life. Lead customer sampling is underway, with general availability planned for early 2027.
