SoftSIM for Nordic Semiconductor

Use Onomondo SoftSIM with Nordic Semiconductor and create high efficiency and low power IoT devices using connectivity from a 100% software-based SIM.

Low-power and low-cost IoT devices

90% reduction in power consumption

Minimize battery consumption while using IoT specific and industry leading power saving technologies.

86% faster device issue resolution

Troubleshoot devices faster with Onomondo Insight Tools, with deep insights on IoT device performance.

80% reduction in overhead data usage

Reduce a device’s data and memory consumption by placing transmission logic in Onomondo’s unified network.

Integrating SoftSIM

A simple and seamless integration

Nordic Semiconductor’s modules work out of the box. SoftSIM is directly integrated into the Nordic Connect SDK. This works for both new radio modules manufactured today and for existing radio modules already deployed in the field with a firmware update.

Why use SoftSIM with Nordic Semiconductor?

Stop buying SIM cards

The Onomondo SoftSIM has zero upfront cost, reducing the bill of materials for your IoT project by €2.00 to €3.00 per device.

On-demand provisioning

Provision SIMs on your devices instantly and on-demand. The days of waiting for your physical SIM shipments are over.

Faster device testing

Reduce the number of required integrations between hardware components, and test device connection more simply and faster.

Eliminate plastic waste

The production of SIM cards annually generates 18,000 tons of plastic waste. SoftSIM eliminates this for your business.

Secured SIM keys

SoftSIM helps protect sensitive device and customer data, as it’s a part of the device firmware and can’t be tampered with.

Increase battery life

SoftSIM reduces the power consumption of idle devices, saving money and resources while ensuring maximum efficiency.
