nRF Cloud

nRF Cloud is a versatile IoT connectivity enabler that can be used directly with Nordic′s cellular devices or with the nRF52 and nRF53 series via agateway. nRF Cloud services support both Device-to-Cloud or Cloud-to-Cloud use cases. In the former, the device connects directly to nRF Cloud. Inthe latter, the device connects to a customer's cloud and that cloud connects to nRF Cloud's REST API. The nRF Cloud Location Services is a set of services that includes GPS and cell-based location services. This enables customers to accurately and quickly obtain location data for their connected devices, saving both time and energy. The GPS-based location services download assistance data over the LTE network, speeding up time-to-first-fix (TTFF). Cell-based location services use the cellular base stations to predict the location of devices while using less power compared to with GPS. In addition, the nRF Connect SDK provides a Wi-Fi location service where the device scans nearby Wi-Fi networks without connecting to them.
