MANSFIELD, TX, Feb 26, 2025 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. announced that it has started shipping the new Thingy:91 X prototyping platform from Nordic Semiconductor. The Thingy:91 X is an easy-to-use, battery-operated prototyping platform for cellular Internet of Things (IoT) proof-of-concept (PoC) demos and initial cellular IoT device development for logistics, asset tracking, smart city, predictive maintenance, industrial and wearable applications.
The Nordic Semiconductor Thingy:91 X, available from Mouser, is designed to address the needs of emerging low-power cellular IoT applications utilizing Nordic’s nRF9151 cellular IoT system-in-package (SiP) with an integrated Arm Cortex-M33 CPU and Arm TrustZone and CryptoCell security technology that supports LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS, and NR+ certified for global operation. The ready-for-IoT Thingy:91 X platform ships with an asset-tracking app already loaded and a whole swathe of sensors to monitor the environment and movement, enabling it to be used in a wide range of use cases. The Thingy:91 X features multiple digital and analog interfaces and peripherals for various design scenarios and interface headers for a debug board connector and Qwiic, STEMMA QT, and Grove-compatible expansion board connectors.
The Thingy:91 X Prototyping Platform has all the necessary modem firmware, RTOS, application software examples, and hardware reference designs to implement a complete cellular IoT design. The Thingy:91 X features two user-programmable buttons for user input, with user-programmable RGB LEDs for output, along with a Nano/4FF SIM card slot, supporting (e)SIM, and bundled Onomondo and Wireless Logic SIM cards preloaded with data to connect to nRF Cloud out-of-the-box. The package also includes a 1350mAh rechargeable Li-Po battery to facilitate prototype field testing.
