Nordic Brings Powerful Edge AI to Billions of Low-Power IoT Devices
Nordic Semiconductor has introduced a streamlined edge AI platform aimed at enabling intelligent processing across billions of ultra-low-power IoT devices while reducing dependence on the cloud, latency, and energy consumption. The platform is built around the nRF54LM20B system-on-chip, which integrates an Axon neural processing unit to deliver significantly faster AI inference and improved energy efficiency for battery-powered applications. Supporting this hardware, Nordic has launched the Edge AI Lab along with optimized Neuton AI models, allowing developers to easily create compact, real-time AI models.
Hubble & Texas Instruments Unite to Bring Global Satellite Bluetooth to IoT Devices Hubble Network has announced a strategic collaboration with Texas Instruments to integrate its satellite‑powered Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity into select TI microcontrollers, debuting at CES 2026. This innovation enables global IoT connectivity without gateways, GPS, or cellular infrastructure, significantly reducing hardware costs and deployment complexity for customers while extending battery life through ultra‑low‑power Bluetooth. The partnership draws on Hubble’s expanding network—backed by over 90 million terrestrial access points and several satellites—to deliver device location and sensor data worldwide.
