Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 low power module for advanced cellular Internet of Things (IoT) applications now includes SoftSIM support for Japan’s only SoftSIM provider, Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ). By using a SoftSIM instead of a traditional SIM, product developers can reduce SIM and Bill of Materials (BoM) costs, simplify design and lower power consumption for cellular IoT end products based on Nordic’s nRF9151 module. SoftSIM is ideal for space-constrained cellular IoT devices with low power consumption requirements, such as wearables and smart sensors.
