Yalantis, an embedded engineering firm based in Warsaw, has become an official design partner of Nordic Semiconductor. The collaboration aims to address rising industry requirements for device reliability and security integration.
Why it matters
As regulatory pressure mounts, companies must embed security protocols earlier into the hardware development cycle. This partnership leverages Nordic’s wireless chip ecosystem to help developers navigate complex cybersecurity compliance.
The partnership focuses on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52, nRF54, and nRF91 low-power wireless chip families. These platforms are designed to meet strict power-efficiency benchmarks while incorporating the security features now demanded by the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
The players
Yalantis
A Warsaw-based embedded engineering company that provides IoT development services and holds ISO 27001, 9001, and 13485 certifications.
Nordic Semiconductor
A Norwegian manufacturer of ultra-low-power wireless system-on-chip solutions used in high-performance IoT applications.
The details
Yalantis utilizes an in-house research and development lab to manage hardware lifecycles, ensuring that IoT (Internet of Things — a network of physical objects embedded with sensors and software) devices meet cybersecurity mandates. By integrating Nordic Semiconductor chips, the firm aligns product development with the European Union Cyber Resilience Act, which mandates security-by-design for connected hardware.
Timeline
2008: Yalantis was founded.
September 2026: EU Cyber Resilience Act manufacturer obligations began.
September 29, 2026: The partnership was announced.
December 2027: Full EU Cyber Resilience Act requirements apply.
The Tech Race
The partnership aligns with the European Union Cyber Resilience Act to meet emerging security-by-design mandates. It follows a clear trend where engineering firms are tightening ties with silicon providers to ensure compliance across the hardware lifecycle.
IoT developers and clients now have streamlined access to validated design architectures for Nordic chip platforms. This transition aims to improve device battery life and security for end-users, though hardware manufacturers must integrate these standards prior to the 2027 regulatory deadline.
The takeaway
The partnership highlights how regulatory compliance is becoming a primary driver for hardware engineering roadmaps. Observers should track how design partners adjust their research-to-production pipelines before the December 2027 deadline for full EU compliance.
What happens next
Companies must reach full compliance with the European Union Cyber Resilience Act by December 2027.
