As industrial operators weigh when—and how—to move from LTE to 5G, Semtech has introduced the FX86E, a 5G RedCap modem positioned as a pre-certified, plug-and-play option for faster deployments across public and private networks. Read more
For years, 5G and IoT existed in an awkward gap. Full 5G New Radio (NR) was too expensive and power-hungry for a smart meter or an industrial sensor. And the older low-power options – NB-IoT and LTE-M – couldn’t deliver enough speed for wearables, video surveillance, or factory diagnostics. Read more
Semtech Corporation has agreed with Trident IoT to integrate multi-protocol software into its LoRa Plus platform. The partnership allows Semtech to provide a unified hardware and software solution for smart home protocols including Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Thread/Matter connectivity. Read more
At the centre of the demonstrations is connectivity. Spanish operator Telefónica is providing the 5G network infrastructure underpinning all of the trials, enabling a range of applications that depend on low latency and reliable bandwidth. Read more
