Silicon Labs is continuing to hold “APAC Tech Talks” wireless technology training series to address the most important aspects of IoT wireless connectivity.
According to market analyst International Data Corp. (IDC), spending on IoT in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) region has been reached $277.5 billion in 2023, up by 11% year-on-year (YoY). IDC expects the rising adoption of IoT technologies to drive IoT investments to around $435 billion in 2027, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% between 2023 and 2027. Worldwide figures are projected to reach $805.7 billion in 2023, growing by 10.6% YoY.
The increasing digitalization trend, rising demand for remote operations, and growing adoption of automation in industrial processes are just some of the key factors fueling the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. Indeed, the IoT industry and all its stakeholders—from the semiconductor manufacturers to the cloud services providers, and everyone else in between—are facing exciting times ahead, especially with the emergence of next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and newer applications seeing the benefits of this connectivity technology.
Facing the rapid growth trends of IoT, Silicon Labs has been focused on the IoT now for almost 15 years. It is the largest dedicated company focusing on complete solutions for the IoT—from the hardware, the software, the tools, the domain expertise, and the support. “Our goal is to be the supplier for any company who wants to bring an IoT solution to the marketplace,” says Matt Johnson, Silicon Labs President and CEO.

WIRELESS COMPUTE
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) offers device manufacturers across industries and applications a way to introduce feature-rich, low-power products that stand out in the market. To better navigate the need for lower power consumption and size constraints in consumer devices, bringing ML to the edge is necessary.
As the world becomes increasingly AI-driven, even the smallest IoT devices will be enabled with AI/ML capability. You, as a device maker, must find a fast, cost-efficient, and reliable solution to accelerate your AIoT development.

LPWAN
Cities consume 78% of the world’s energy and produce more than 60% of greenhouse gas. To increase infrastructure and capacity while decreasing carbon emissions in cities, a paradigm shift is required – cities must use digitization and wireless technology to operate smarter, producing and distributing energy more efficiently and prioritizing renewable energy. By leveraging LPWAN solutions, municipal assets can be monitored in real-time and controlled remotely, residents can actively track their energy consumption, and cities can control when and where power is needed.
Based on the IEEE 802.15.4g standard, Wi-SUN was developed to provide a simple, secure, interoperable LPWAN protocol to address the needs of smart city needs, smart agriculture, municipal infrastructure, and other emerging markets. The rollout of FAN 1.1 builds on the solid Wi-SUN framework and adds functionality for high-throughput and low-power nodes to the already established standard.

MATTER
Matter, as a smart home standard, was designed to simplify the smart home ecosystem. It aimed to allow devices to be provisioned with any phone, work across major platforms like Amazon, Google, or Apple, and avoid becoming obsolete. The vision included less fragmentation, improved security, and fewer obsolete devices.
On top of a strategic approach to development, device certification also becomes important. Certification ensures interoperability and security. Solution providers like Silicon Labs can help manufacturers streamline certification processes and ensure compliance with Matter specifications so that they can stay focused on building high-quality products.

BLUETOOTH
Digitization helps logistics managers stay on top of operations. By integrating wireless connectivity solutions, teams can remotely track and monitor critical assets, as well as record various operational parameters like temperature, humidity levels, and impact measurements. Wireless connectivity introduces a new dimension of real-time visibility, automation, and enhanced security. Moreover, it guarantees adherence to regulatory requirements.
On the other hand, as we work towards creating higher-performing MCUs and more widely available energy harvesting systems, these systems can reduce our carbon footprint and allow for more efficient battery operating systems. Energy harvesting could become widespread, powering homes, smart cities, security systems, industrial devices, and much more.

WI-FI
Wi-Fi is the most widely used wireless standard today, but only recently has it emerged as a viable option for IoT applications. That changed when Wi-Fi 4 made the standard more cost and energy efficient. And today, with further improvements in performance and power consumption, Wi-Fi 6 is accelerating adoption even faster.
There are about 800 million Wi-Fi devices deployed every year, and a quarter of those are battery-powered. As more and more devices are introduced that rely on low-power, low-cost, and small size – while also requiring cloud connectivity – Wi-Fi developers need tools that allow them to focus on their products instead of the wireless design.
