Unlike conventional cloud-based update solutions that generate recurring operational costs, nRF Cloud Lifetime FOTA introduces a unique one-time licensing model. Customers pay a fixed fee per device and gain access to firmware updates and device management services for the product's entire lifetime. Pricing starts at USD 1.00 per device, depending on fleet size and project requirements, providing a predictable and cost-effective path to long-term device maintenance and cybersecurity compliance. This approach simplifies long-term planning, reduces lifecycle costs, and supports compliance with evolving cybersecurity regulations. The service is available through Rutronik.
CRA-Ready Firmware Update Infrastructure
The nRF Cloud platform provides a complete, chip-to-cloud FOTA solution tightly integrated with the Nordic ecosystem. Combined with the nRF Connect SDK and MCUboot, developers can implement a production-ready update infrastructure in minutes instead of spending months building and maintaining their own backend. The platform helps manufacturers address key CRA requirements, such as secure updates, auditability, device authentication, and long-term software maintenance.
Production-Proven Platform for Millions of Devices
Built on Memfault technology and integrated into the nRF Cloud, this solution has already proven its reliability across millions of connected devices worldwide. Customers benefit from a mature infrastructure featuring:
- Automated staged rollouts
- Fleet and cohort management
- Firmware version tracking and analytics
- Health monitoring and rollback capabilities
- Secure approval workflows
- Comprehensive audit logs
- A global content delivery network optimized for low-power IoT devices
Optimized for Nordic Wireless Solutions
nRF Cloud Lifetime FOTA is designed specifically for Nordic Semiconductor’s low-power wireless portfolio, including the nRF52, nRF53, and nRF54 series; the nRF70 series; the nRF91 and nRF93 series cellular IoT solutions; and Nordic-based modules from Insight SIP, Panasonic, Minew, Murata, and others. Even customers using a non-Nordic-based system can also use this cloud service.
The platform supports efficient update delivery through CoAP, full image updates, delta updates, and gateway-based update scenarios. This helps minimize bandwidth consumption and power usage in battery-operated devices.
Reduce Time-to-Market and Total Cost of Ownership
It reduces time to market and total cost of ownership. By combining silicon, software, and cloud services into a single ecosystem, Nordic enables manufacturers to accelerate product development while reducing operational complexity. Instead of investing in custom update infrastructures, engineering teams can focus on product innovation while benefiting from enterprise-grade security, reliability, and lifecycle management.
