Semtech’s laser drivers and amplifiers are integrated into Intel RealSense LiDAR Camera L515 to create a power-efficient, high-resolution consumer solution. We talk to Simon McCaul, Senior Market Manager for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Product group. Read more
LoRaWAN wants to invade your home. Its backers think that it’s perfect for many smart home applications. However, don’t we already have one — or two or three —wireless networks that are “perfect” for the home, namely Bluetooth and WiFi? That’s how the conversation started with Remi Lorrain, Semtech’s LoRaWAN Network Director, in this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. Read more
Floodwaters can rise quickly and with little warning, resulting in chaotic and dangerous situations for citizens and emergency response teams. With IoT solutions, response teams have real-time data and insight to detect potential flooding concerns to minimize risk to life, property, and business. Given the frequency and severity of floods, technology companies need to find ways to leverage the IoT to better prepare for and react to these incidents. Read more
In this brand-new Quickfire Interview, editorial director, Jeremy Cowan chats to Alistair Fulton, the Vice President and General Manager, Wireless and Sensing Products Group at Semtech about their LoRa Device-to-Cloud platform, why connectivity is more critical than ever and how their collaboration with AWS will offer customers a competitive advantage.

The recent evolution of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled solutions is allowing asset tracking applications to be more ubiquitous, pervasive and sophisticated. With IoT, we are now able to communicate not only the position of the asset, but also key data related to it. Read more
IoT solutions for asset management can be expensive or impractical to implement because of the vast area the asset needs to travel, but a reliable asset tracking solution can be built by combining cost efficient, low power and secure wireless connectivity with a standardized infrastructure.

While IoT technology is serving the purpose of connectivity, its impact is far greater. The IoT is enabling connections in areas where access is limited, protecting wildlife, helping employees return to work, managing water waste and far more. IoT solutions leveraging long-range, low-power technology are scalable and easy to implement. But perhaps more importantly, they are filling the technology gap of cellular and Wi-Fi- or BLE-based networks that require either high bandwidth or high power, or that have a limited range or an inability to penetrate certain environments. Marc Pegulu of Semtech explains. Read more
Security is a vital component of any system that requires the active management of assets used in the field. Operators need to be sure that the information they have on assets in the field is valid and has not been tampered with. If not, they face risks to their business model and ability to service users properly. Sree Durbha, director of LoRa Edge Product Management in Semtech's Wireless and Sensing Products Group, explains. Read more
Through the deployment of a low-power and long-range IoT solution, real-time merchandise monitoring technology can track assets and help stores reduce the cost of having to replace them. This is a game-changer for stores that have long struggled to effectively manage in-store goods as IoT technology provides retailers with access to large amounts of data on customer activity.
