Semtech celebrates LPWAN landmark and demos IoT innovations

Semtech Corporation is showcasing its latest IoT innovations at MWC26 Barcelona. It will also join the GSMA IoT Summit to celebrate one billion cellular low power wide area network (LPWAN) devices deployed globally.

Semtech is highlighting key innovations from across its IoT portfolio at MWC26, including PowerWise eSIM and Video Compression — two innovations from Semtech’s Smart Connectivity portfolio, with intelligent multi-IMSI SIM technology that dynamically extends coverage and enables robust connectivity for battery-constrained smart metering and critical video surveillance applications.

Semtech is also highlighting the HL7900E 5G Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) module, the latest addition to its field-proven cellular LPWA portfolio. This cost-optimised variant of the popular HL7900 is purpose-built for smart electricity, gas and water metering deployments, delivering deep coverage and ultra-low power operation at scale.

Other highlights from the company include the AirLink RX400 and EX400 routers — 5G RedCap performance at under one-watt idle power, designed for remote and off-grid deployments. There is also the LR2021 LoRa Plus transceiver covering legacy and emerging IoT use cases such as those requiring multi-protocol operation and high-speed data rates up to 2.6 Mbps, to connect devices with AI at the edge for applications such as image and audio classification, and predictive maintenance.

The company is also a technology partner to CircuitX, the GSMA’s motorsports connectivity initiative, supporting end-to-end technology solutions provider Al Kamel Systems’ demonstration of how ultra-low latency 5G networks transform race operations and race fans’ experience — from real-time race support to in-car high-definition video broadcasting.

CircuitX debuts at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 1 March alongside Formula E and Porsche safety cars on track, before showcasing at MWC26 Barcelona in Hall 6.
