Norwegian company Nordic Semiconductor has grown from a startup specializing in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a global leader in wireless solutions. At this year’s Hannover Messe, he is showcasing the new NR+ standard, a wireless technology that bridges the gap between non-cellular networks and his 5G standard.we met them last month At the press preview at Hannover Messe.
Nordic Semiconductor is a Norwegian company that started as a Bluetooth Low Energy company. The company’s portfolio now extends beyond BLE to encompass cellular IoT, Wi-Fi, and power management ICs. We also provide cloud solutions that power businesses around the world.
In its first participation at Hannover Messe, the company leverages its existing low-power nRF91 series technology to deliver a seamless, highly integrated DECT NR+ solution.
DECT-NR+: Fusion of innovation
What is DECT-NR+?
DECT-NR+ is more than just a wireless protocol. It’s a paradigm shift. Approved as a 5G standard by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), this technology combines the best of both worlds: the reliability of Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) and the transformative power of 5G.
What are the features of NR+?
Unlike traditional cellular networks, NR+ operates independently of base stations. It is a distributed solution that works well in environments where installing cell phone base stations is impractical or costly.
According to company representatives we met at a press preview at Hannover Messe last month, Nordic Semiconductor is playing a pivotal role in making NR+ a reality.
“Our nRF91 series chipsets provide the hardware foundation for this innovative technology. These chipsets enable seamless communication, low latency, and robust connectivity.”

“This software runs directly on our chipsets, creating resilient networks that adapt to diverse scenarios.”
Applications and use cases
industrial IoT
According to the company, NR+ is ideal for industrial IoT, where large numbers of sensors, devices, and machines are connected throughout the factory floor.
For example, NR+ excels in scenarios where data transmission is frequent but lightweight. Whether it’s monitoring production lines, tracking inventory, or ensuring worker safety, NR+ delivers efficiency and reliability.
smart metering
Smart metering is also an application area. NR+ enables seamless communication from electricity and water meters to gas pipelines. Low power consumption extends battery life, and private infrastructure ensures data security.
smart city lights
City lights play an important role in city life. NR+ allows local governments to build intelligent lighting networks. By setting up NR+ infrastructure, cities can optimize energy use, remotely control lighting, and improve safety.
Microcity and beyond
Microcities such as airports, shopping malls, and business parks benefit from NR+. Whether you’re managing parking, security cameras, or environmental sensors, NR+ simplifies connectivity.
