The partnership combines Kigen eSIMs, its eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) solution for SGP.32 IoT eSIMs and Nordic’s nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP).
The collaboration is seen as underscoring 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.
“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, 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.”
“The collaboration with Kigen has produced an outcome that’s much more than just an important technical milestone,” says Oyvind Birkenes, EVP Business Unit Long-Range, Nordic Semiconductor. “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.”
The collaboration highlights the company’s commitment to delivering robustly tested, high-quality solutions for low power, compact IoT designs. Such products are critical for the success of Massive IoT deployments such as industrial automation, asset tracking, and smart metering. Their joint efforts have resulted in successful testing of the eIM platform and eSIM on the nRF9151 and sets the stage for further trials and support for commercial deployments in early 2025.
Both Kigen's eIM solution and Nordic's nRF9151 are available now.
