NOD: NORDIC ANNOUNCES CELLULAR IOT DESIGN WIN

Nordic Semiconductor ASA, has today announced a design win within Cellular IoT.
The design win is with StalkIT AS, a leading Norwegian asset tracking company.

StalkIT recently announced its tracking service at the same time as Telia
announced the opening of their IoT mobile network. The StalkIT tracker is a
compact and robust battery operated 4G LTE narrowband IoT (Cat-NB) positioning
device with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) from Nordic Semiconductor. The tracker is
using the NB-IoT mobile networks to report its position and sensor data to the
Stalkit Cloud and Mobile App. The sensors will determine its position based on
the Global Positioning System (GPS), measure the temperature, and register
movement from the 3D accelerometer. The Mobile App is used to activate and
organize the tracker when installing it, as well as a portable map to help
locate the correct container. The StalkIT cloud and Web App is used to organize
the containers, set up geofences and keep overview of inventory.

StalkIT has started to take customer orders and is in production with the
tracker.

StalkIT is also prototyping the next generation tracker aimed for production in
spring 2019.

It is a great pleasure for us to work with the leading low power semiconductor
company for Bluetooth and IoT. Our application require low power, high quality
radio and high integration at the right price, and all of that is met by the
Nordic chipsets, says Einar Aaland, Chief Product Officer of StalkIT. We are
very exited, since we are already entering this early market with Norwegian
technology and competency. It is manufactured in Norway, with components such as
Nordic Semiconductor, and using future mobile networks from Telia which has
entered commercial deployment here in Norway. Norway and the nordics are on the
leading edge on this new technology, and we hope that this can become a real
Nordic adventure. The IoT services are predicted to become massive, and we have
already started. Our partnership with Nordic started with the nRF52 BLE
controllers, but we have now joined forces to work with the new Nordic nRF9160
IoT controller, says Einar Aaland, CPO StalkIT.
