Semtech Wins “M2M Innovative Solution of the Year” Designation in 2025 IoT Breakthrough Awards Program
Prestigious Annual IoT Breakthrough Awards Program Recognizes Standout Internet-of-Things Companies and Products
CAMARILLO, Calif., Feb 12, 2025 - IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market, today announced that Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a high-performance semiconductor, IoT systems and cloud connectivity service provider, has been selected as winner of the “M2M Innovative Solution of The Year” award in the 9th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program.
Semtech offers a comprehensive range of cellular and LoRa® based Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWA) devices and connectivity solutions. The devices and wireless LoRa technology feature longest-range industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio, enabling robust, long-range connectivity for machine-to-machine and IoT applications.
The 2025 IoT Breakthrough Award recognizes the breakthrough innovation of Semtech’s AirVantage® Smart Sensing, which helps with managing the design and configuration of a secure and scalable sensor network. Smart Sensing efficiently handles the influx of IoT data, extracting only relevant business information and seamlessly integrating it into IT systems. Users can easily install the plug-and-play solution for an enterprise-grade, scalable LoRaWAN® sensor network. Users simply select sensors from multiple vendors and Semtech harmonizes them for no-code upstream integration.
Users can then monitor and update all or part of their fleet through APIs or a web portal with sophisticated campaign management features to take care of operations across a large number of end devices. Semtech’s Connectivity and Management Services offer an API-first approach with a full suite of APIs and service options to rapidly create a solution that is tailored to meet specific business needs and technical requirements. Smart Sensing provides users with the flexibility to deploy managed, multi-vendor sensor networks and expand into new use cases across the whole enterprise. These generic use cases are applicable to many areas, including Retail and Hospitality, Industrial Monitoring, and Assisted Living.
“Our solution was designed to help companies, such as solution providers and large enterprises harness the benefits of IoT without grappling with technical intricacies. Smart Sensing represents our commitment to user-centric design, ensuring that end users don’t need to understand the complexities of end-device configurations to access the data they need,” said Richard Lansdowne, senior director of cloud services at Semtech. “It’s an honor to receive the ‘M2M Innovative Solution of the Year’ award from IoT Breakthrough. We’ll continue to enhance AirVantage Smart Sensing to revolutionize how IoT is managed - from deployment to data insights, making IoT a lot easier and faster for everyone.”
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis of the global Internet-of-Things industry and then recognize the ‘breakthrough’ innovators, leaders and visionaries in a broad range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, IoT Security, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Car, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from companies all over the world.
“For companies seeking to enable their digital transformation, Smart Sensing offers a turnkey solution for managing the design and configuration of a secure and scalable sensor network. IoT management can be complex due to the number of options and technical jargon, making it daunting for businesses to adopt and integrate IoT,” said Steve Johansson, managing director at IoT Breakthrough. “Smart Sensing is the easiest way to realize your sensing network. By normalizing interactions with various smart devices, this solution puts the focus where it should be - on the insights these devices provide. Semtech makes IoT management easier, smarter, more intuitive, and more aligned with the needs of businesses and individuals alike.”
Semtech offers IoT solutions that allow businesses to connect and manage their devices, collect and analyze data, and improve decision-making. Semtech also operates as a full Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) including a dedicated cellular core network, with a portfolio of IoT connectivity solutions. These technologies support a hybrid multi-connectivity approach to IoT with operation via cellular or LoRaWAN® public or private networks - whether terrestrial or non-terrestrial networks (NTN).
