In this short preview video, Satyajit Sinha, Principal Analyst at IoT Analytics, and Dave Dixon, Director of Product Management (5G) at Semtech, discuss how System-on-Chip (SoC) modules are transforming IoT design by merging connectivity and computing on a single platform. Read more
The rise of video analytics marks a defining moment for IoT connectivity. As AI, 5G and edge computing converge, telcos now have a unique opportunity to move beyond connectivity, and become enablers of intelligent automation. Read more
As bandwidth demand accelerates and power consumption issues become more acute in data centers, the emergence of Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) has become a welcome technology. LPO is a technology that creates low-power optical modules for ultra-short-reach data center connections by removing the complex DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip from the module. Read more
Semtech’s LoRa business never slowed down through the Sierra Wireless acquisition, it says – and it showed the proof last week: a fourth-gen LoRa chip family offering multi-protocol support and double the range. LoRa/LoRaWAN is ready for the edge AI era, it says. Read more
The internet of things is defined as a network of connected devices with built-in intelligence that primarily communicate wirelessly with each other to generate and collect data for operation optimization and efficiency maximization. By analyzing this data, further improvements can be made to enhance functionality and performance. Read more
