The Future of Connectivity September 15th 2016, Oslo Pål Elstad – CFO at Nordic Semiconductor © NORDIC SEMICONDUCTOR Presentation Highlights Norway’s first pure IoT Company Nordic Semiconductor is the market leader in short-range wireless solutions with ultra-low power consumption
Proprietary wireless and Bluetooth Smart technologies
Dominant competitive position in key product segments
This market is expected to grow into a wide range of products (dubbed the “Internet of Things”)
IoT creates vast new market opportunities for wireless connectivity solutions
Bluetooth Smart will be a central part of the IoT infrastructure, as a low cost and low power standard for connecting to billions of smartphones and other devices.
Nordic Semiconductor is well-positioned for these growth opportunities, based on its industry-leading wireless solutions and market position
Bluetooth Smart Leading technology for battery powered wireless applications

Nordic-The IoT Company Vision
A leading vendor of wireless connectivity and embedded processing solutions for internet connected things
Things : we wear we carry around around us at home WAN (1km+) around us at work around us in the city LAN (100m+) around us in the country side PAN Machine to Machine (M2M) (10m+)
Nordic is about THINGS
© NORDIC SEMICONDUCTOR The IoT opportunity is large- and we are just getting started
It´s about making things smarter It´s about making services smarter Wireless connectivity is important Power consumption is important Size and cost is important It´s about “my things” It´s about “things around us”
