nuSIM

Integrated SIM

Description

nuSIM is a software-based iSIM solution from Nordic Semiconductor for the nRF91 Series, replacing the need for a physical SIM card and socket. It reduces device size, simplifies manufacturing, and enhances the robustness of cellular IoT designs. We offer flexible pricing, which you can check out by following this link.

What is nuSIM?

nuSIM is an open iSIM standard where SIM data is encrypted and managed within a secure area of the device. It operates as a dedicated software component inside the Arm TrustZone® of the nRF91 processor, enabling fully digital provisioning of SIM profiles during manufacturing.

Features

• Completely eliminates external SIM hardware, reducing BOM cost and saving PCB space.

• Improved environmental robustness by removing the physical SIM socket.

• Secure digital provisioning process during device manufacturing.

• Lower power consumption compared to traditional SIM solutions.

• Full integration with Nordic nRF9151 and nRF9160 through the nRF Connect SDK.

• Security certification by TÜV Nord.

Technical Specifications

• Based on the Redtea Mobile nuSIM Integration Library within the nRF Connect SDK, with Monogoto profile.

• SIM profile is securely loaded during device manufacturing.

• Credential storage and authentication handled in the secure modem domain.

• Supports LTE-M, NB-IoT, and satellite communication (Satellite/NTN).

• Compatible with Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151 and nRF9160 modules.
