Tackling RF Loss, Band Coverage, and Multi-Radio Challenges in the Thingy:91 X
30 October 2025
6 PM CET / 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST
Duration: 45 min + Q&A
Join Nordic & Ignion to discover how the Thingy:91 X manages one of the toughest challenges in IoT design: achieving reliable band coverage in a small form factor while supporting multiple radios.
What You’ll Learn
- Evolving the platform: See how Nordic and Ignion collaborated to take the Thingy:91 X beyond its predecessor
- Tackling the size vs. performance trade-off: Discover how Ignion’s Virtual Antenna® Solution helps the Thingy:91 X maintain strong performance despite limited space.
- The software-defined antenna approach: Get an overview of how Nordic’s RF front-end switch configurations change across LTE/DECT NR+ frequency bands.
- Live demo: Watch a guided demo using Nordic Hello nRFCloud — showing how antenna tuning is controlled via software.
Why Attend?
Whether you’re an RF engineer or a product developer, you’ll gain insights that go beyond datasheets:
- For engineers: Learn how antenna states and switch paths directly impact return loss, VSWR, and overall signal strength and how to fine-tune performance in real time.
- For device developers: Understand how these tuning capabilities translate into faster prototyping, fewer redesigns, and a smoother path from evaluation kit to a certified, market-ready device.
Practical Details
- Speakers: Martin Lesund (Nordic) & José Luis Pina (Ignion)
- Duration: ~1 hour (presentation + live Q&A)
- Who should attend: RF engineers looking for deep technical insights, and IoT device developers/manufacturers using the Thingy:91 X as a prototyping platform.
