Nordic Semiconductor brings Wi-Fi connectivity to small battery-powered devices
Published
Norwegian semiconductor company Nordic Semiconductor says it is bringing Wi-Fi connectivity and artificial intelligence to small, battery-powered IoT devices as well. IoT devices are objects connected to the internet that can send information to other devices or services. Until now, Wi-Fi has often been too power-hungry for small devices whose batteries need to last a long time on very little electricity.
According to the company, the new chips make it possible to use Wi-Fi connectivity in devices that run on batteries for months or even years. Artificial intelligence, in turn, can make simple decisions directly on the device on site, without all data being transferred to a cloud service. This may reduce delays and improve data security.
The new solutions could be used, for example, in home sensors, health monitoring and industrial measuring equipment. The company did not provide exact market launch times or prices in connection with the news. Development nonetheless suggests that smart devices may in the future become ever smaller and easier to use.
