Nordic Semiconductor Debuts nRF54L15 Connect Kit with Bluetooth LE 6.0
Oslo, Tuesday, 2 September 2025.
Nordic Semiconductor’s new nRF54L15 Connect Kit supports multiple protocols like Bluetooth LE 6.0 and Zigbee, offering enhanced capabilities for low-power IoT applications with a 128 MHz processor.
Advanced Features of the nRF54L15 Connect Kit
The nRF54L15 Connect Kit by Nordic Semiconductor is a compact evaluation platform that focuses on low-power IoT applications. The kit integrates a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor and a 128 MHz RISC-V coprocessor, supported by 1.5 MB of non-volatile memory and 256 KB of RAM. Notably, the kit also includes an nRF52820-based Interface MCU, which simplifies development through CMSIS-DAP debugging, a USB-UART bridge, and an interface shell for configuring board functions [1].
Protocol Support and Pre-Programmed Features
The Connect Kit stands out with its support for multiple protocols including Bluetooth LE 6.0, Matter, Zigbee, and NFC. It is pre-programmed with a Quick Start Demo that allows users to immediately test Zephyr Shell, GPIO, NFC tag emulation, and Bluetooth LE features. This pre-installation facilitates a smooth initiation into the kit’s functionalities [1].
Comparative Analysis with the PAN B611-1
In comparison, the PAN B611-1 module, also based on the nRF54L15, offers a Bluetooth 6.0 Low Energy module with ultra-low current consumption. It features a maximum transmission power of +8 dBm and a receiving sensitivity of -96 dBm at 1 Mb/s. The module is designed for battery-powered devices, offering compact dimensions and certified for CE RED, FCC, ISED, UKCA, and MIC [2].
Market Relevance and Availability in Europe
The nRF54L15 Connect Kit is priced at $21.90, making it an affordable option for developers in the European IoT market, where there is a growing demand for multiprotocol support. This launch aligns with Nordic Semiconductor’s strategy to cater to the robust IoT development scene in Europe [1][3].
