This reduces PCB complexity and power draw, which are critical concerns for battery-powered industrial sensor nodes. The nRF family supports multiple wireless protocols (BLE, Bluetooth Mesh, Thread, LTE-M, NB-IoT) and aligns with the ITU-T Y.4228 IIoT framework, operating at the Device Layer and connecting to cloud infrastructure. Zephyr RTOS is the default OS for these MCUs. Nordic's recent acquisition of Memfault further streamlines device lifecycle management for large-scale IIoT deployments. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
