Nordic Semiconductor announces the acquisition of its long-term partner, Memfault Inc., the market-leading cloud platform provider for large-scale deployments of connected products. This marks a major leap in Nordic’s evolution – from a hardware supplier to a complete solution partner.
Nordic now provides a comprehensive platform that simplifies development and accelerates time-to-market. Throughout the product lifecycle, continuous software upgrades strengthen the security, performance, power consumption, and functionality of products in the field. This allows customers to focus on innovation – free from the burden of navigating fragmented and complex IoT ecosystems.
Empowering product development through simplicity and scale
Memfault has established itself as the leading platform provider for device observability and management, and secure over-the-air (OTA) software updates to ensure the highest device reliability without field returns. It is trusted by a growing developer community and customers to monitor, maintain, and scale connected products. Nordic will integrate Memfault’s capabilities across its complete product portfolio and into its existing nRF Cloud services platform, creating a significantly more powerful solution.
Strengthening Nordic’s edge AI and security solutions
This acquisition further strengthens Nordic Semiconductor’s leadership position in addressing current and future market demands. As IoT nodes become increasingly intelligent through edge AI, and as security standards evolve under frameworks such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, Nordic’s software and cloud services will equip product developers with comprehensive tools to stay ahead of industry and regulatory expectations.
Commitment to continuity and customer trust
Nordic and Memfault share a broad base of mutual customers and common markets. Nordic is committed to supporting every IoT device maker – including all existing Memfault customers – regardless of their choice of hardware. The Memfault platform will continue to thrive, with further enhancements and investments in hardware integration, device management, and advanced AI capabilities.
This acquisition underscores Nordic’s commitment to an exceptional customer experience. Nordic’s new software services will remove complexity and add value for thousands of customers who can now focus on product innovation. This solution will reduce time-to-market, lower operational costs, and enable our customers to manage their connected products effectively across the entire lifecycle.
