Nordic Semiconductor has signed a new distribution agreement with Millennium Semiconductors, an India-based electronic components supply company specializing in design, proof of concept, and after-sales technical support across a broad range of industries including automotive, IoT, smart lighting, and consumer electronics. The deal covers distribution and design support for Nordic’s entire portfolio of low power cellular IoT and low power short range wireless solutions.
Millennium will supply Nordic’s complete range of low power wireless connectivity hardware, firmware, development tools, and reference designs, including the nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) LTE-M/NB-IoT and GPS cellular IoT module, the nRF52840 System-on-Chip (SoC)—an advanced multiprotocol device supporting Bluetooth 5, ANT, IEEE 802.15.4, and 2.4GHz proprietary technologies—as well as the nRF52811 SoC, a fully-featured connectivity solution that supports Bluetooth 5.1 Direction Finding.
“We see a huge opportunity in India with more designs being done locally, not only for the domestic market but increasingly also for the global market,” says Bjørn Åge “Bob” Brandal, Sales Manager APAC, Nordic Semiconductor. “By increasing our presence through distributors fully focused on the region rather than globally we ensure that we can offer the best support to our customers.
