Ahmedabad‑based IndieSemiC has teamed up with Norway’s Nordic Semiconductor to design and commercialise wireless modules for connected devices, with the companies stating that these modules are already being deployed in global markets. The collaboration is being positioned as a design‑centric addition to India’s growing role in the broader semiconductor and electronics ecosystem, targeting enterprise‑grade connectivity for smart‑home, industrial IoT, and healthcare‑related applications.
The partnership brings together Nordic’s low‑power system‑on‑chip (SoC) technology with IndieSemiC’s radio‑frequency (RF) design and product‑engineering expertise. The resulting modules are production‑ready, certified, and tailored for use cases that demand reliable, low‑power wireless communication.
Low‑Power Wireless Modules for Connected Devices
IndieSemiC offers a range of RF modules based on Nordic’s Bluetooth‑Low‑Energy (LE) platforms, including the nRF52 and nRF54 series, which are designed for battery‑driven and always‑connected devices. The modules are optimised for low‑power operation, making them suitable for applications such as wearables, smart meters, sensor networks, and asset‑tracking systems where power efficiency and long‑range reliability are critical.
The company also provides multi‑protocol modules that support Bluetooth LE, Thread, Zigbee, Wi‑Fi, and Matter, enabling a single module to serve different connectivity standards within a product family. This approach simplifies integration for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) building smart‑home hubs, industrial‑automation controllers, and connected‑health devices that need to interoperate with multiple ecosystems.
Module Lifecycle and Market Reach
IndieSemiC is responsible for the full module lifecycle, including RF design, hardware development, firmware support, testing, certification, and manufacturing. Nordic Semiconductor continues to supply the core chipset technology, allowing the Indian firm to focus on system‑level integration and customisation for customers.
The companies say the modules are already being adopted in sectors such as wearables, smart‑metering, automotive‑related systems, and industrial‑control applications, with customers spread across global markets. The partnership is being used to expand IndieSemiC’s international footprint while reinforcing India’s positioning in the design‑led segment of the global semiconductor value chain.
Alignment with India’s Electronics and Semiconductor Push
The collaboration is framed as a complement to India’s broader push around electronics manufacturing and semiconductor design, where the emphasis is shifting from assembly and packaging to higher‑value activities such as chip and module design, firmware development, and product engineering. For Indian and international enterprises building connected‑device portfolios, the partnership offers access to India‑designed, globally‑certified wireless modules that are aligned with evolving connectivity standards and regulatory requirements.
