The partnership combines Kigen eSIMs, Kigen’s eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) solution for SGP.32 IoT eSIMs and Nordic’s award-winning nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP). The collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to offer robust, secure, low-power cellular IoT solutions that remove the technical barriers to wireless connectivity and enable rapid scalability of the IoT.
Nordic and Kigen will showcase their innovations at CES 2025, offering visitors demonstrations and in-depth discussions with their engineering teams. CES will be held in Las Vegas, NV, from 7 to 10 January 2025. Nordic can be found on booth #52039 at the Venetian Expo.
“The joint testing between Kigen eIM solution and Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 reflects our shared commitment to innovation in low-power, compact, and battery-efficient IoT devices,” said Vincent Korstanje, the CEO, Kigen. “At Kigen, this is part of our vision to ensure that standards bring benefits to the broadest set of players – making this transformative technology accessible, cost-effective, and scalable for businesses of all sizes.”
Oyvind Birkenes, the EVP business unit long-range at Nordic Semiconductor, said, “The collaboration with Kigen has produced an outcome that’s much more than just an important technical milestone. Rather, the simplicity brought by Kigen’s solution combined with the highly integrated, low power and cost-efficient nRF9151 SiP has the potential to transform the cellular IoT landscape by making it easier and faster for all sizes of companies to deploy Massive IoT applications.”
