Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) for IoT connectivity specialist Blecon has released support for Nordic Semiconductor’s new nRF54L Series multiprotocol SoCs, enabling cloud connectivity for next-generation IoT devices. Coinciding with the nRF54L Series’ launch at Electronica 2024, this supports development of applications in industrial IoT, healthcare, logistics, and other vertical markets.

With Blecon’s support for the nRF54L Series, developers can design single-chip cloud connected devices using Bluetooth LE, without the need for 1-1 pairing or custom gateways. They can also deploy coverage for these devices using mobile, laptop and dedicated Hotspots, eliminating infrastructure cost and installation complexity.

Bluetooth LE also provides for low-cost, battery-powered cloud connectivity exploiting nRF54L’s power and performance.

“The new nRF54L Series delivers double the processing capabilities whilst bringing significant improvements in power consumption, making it ideal for next generation IoT products,” said Sam Presley, nRF54L Technical Product Manager, Nordic Semiconductor. “Blecon support enables the nRF54L Series to be used for cloud connected applications, unlocking new product opportunities for our customers.”

“Nordic’s nRF54L Series SoCs are going to power the next generation of Bluetooth Low Energy devices,” said Simon Ford, CEO of Blecon. “By working closely with the Nordic team, we’ve already enabled our Bluetooth cloud connectivity on this cutting-edge hardware and are excited to now make the results available.”

Blecon’s support for the nRF54L Series is available immediately. Developers can access software, documentation, and support at https://developer.blecon.net, with examples available within Nordic’s nRF Connect for VS Code.
