Semiconductor vendor Semtech said it has begun sampling a clock and data recovery (CDR) module suited to 5G-Advanced, marketed under its Tri-Edge connectivity sub-brand. CDR equipment provides optical and electrical receivers with re-timing data to mark incoming data packets so they are delivered correctly. Read more
On 21st September 2024, Rocket Lab’s Electron launcher successfully deployed five new satellites into orbit as part of the Kinéis constellation, dedicated to the IoT. This brings the total number of deployed nanosatellites to 10, out of a planned 25. Read more
LoRa technology, which stands for “Long-Range” is a low-power, long-range connectivity solution, and is one of Semtech's signature innovations. It is designed to enable efficient communication between devices over long distances while consuming minimal power. Read more
Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) is an emerging optical interconnect technology designed to address the growing demands for higher bandwidth, lower power consumption, and reduced latency in data-intensive applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Read more
Joining Semtech’s PON-X lineup are a combo chip and a burst-mode TIA, designed for 2.5G PON Fiber to the Room (FTTR) applications. FTTR is regarded as the next step in fixed broadband technology, gaining traction in both residential and business markets. As demand for higher speeds grows, Semtech’s FTTR chipset can be easily upgraded to 10G PON without recabling. Read more
The group emerged earlier this year and took another step towards creating new specifications to set the stage for Linear Pluggable Optics technology. Read more
After having built a number of Wi-Fi IoT gadgets for the home, Brian became curious to see how LoRaWAN-based IoT devices would work. He decided to investigate the Notecard LoRa IoT modules made by Blues Wireless. Read more
A new research report from the IoT analyst firm Berg Insight says that annual shipments of wireless devices for industrial automation applications reached 10.7 million units worldwide in 2023, accounting for approximately 9 percent of all new connected nodes. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3 percent, annual shipments are expected to reach 19.1 million by 2028. Read more
IoT and networks silicon vendor Semtech said it is launching two new products geared to 2.5G fibre-to-the-room PON terminals. The new GN25L81 combo chip and burst mode PIN transimpedance amplifier GN25L42 both form part of Semtech's PON-X solutions banner. Read more
We’ve talked about Semtech Corporation before; Semtech is a multinational technology provider with a variety of high-performance semiconductors, cloud connectivity services, and other IoT system-centric solutions. (Say that last part five times fast.) Since its founding (which dates back to 1960), Semtech delivers “high-quality, innovative solutions that enable a smarter, deeply connected, and more sustainable planet” — that, in essence, is their M.O.
