Silicon Labs

Choosing the right compute architecture for edge AI is about more than peak performance. For many embedded applications, energy efficiency, deterministic latency, and memory footprint have a greater impact than peak TOPS. Silicon Labs is focused on helping developers build edge AI solutions that are efficient, scalable, and designed for real-world deployment. https://lnkd.in/gBtT7ec9

At #Unify2026 in Austin last week, I was lucky enough to host a panel where Philips Hue founder George Yianni dropped a great line that open standards like #Matter don’t commoditize the industry… they just help to handle the "plumbing" so brands can focus on actual innovation. And now Signify is proving exactly that (with some help from Silicon Labs) partnership, with concurrent multiprotocol tech that lets Hue bulbs run Zigbee and Matter-over-Thread simultaneously, eliminating the choice between advanced Bridge features and direct smart home integration. https://lnkd.in/eeNMR_Sg

We're excited to collaborate with Signify to bring concurrent Zigbee and Matter over Thread support to select Philips Hue smart bulbs. As Matter adoption continues to grow, the industry is focused on making smart home devices easier to connect and use while preserving the experiences consumers already know and trust. Together, we're helping bridge today's smart home infrastructure with tomorrow's Matter-based environments. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ga5NGHwp

Electricity demand is growing fast, driven by everything from EVs and AI data centers to increased cooling needs and distributed renewable energy. For utilities, keeping up isn't just about generating more power. It's about gaining better visibility into what's happening across the grid and finding smarter ways to manage energy demand. In our new blog, we look at why smart energy management is becoming increasingly important, how the grid-edge visibility gap is creating new challenges, and how technologies like Wi-SUN and Matter Energy can help connect the grid and the home.

That's a wrap on #Unify2026! Thank you to Connectivity Standards Alliance, attendees, customers, partners, and industry peers who made it such a great event. We're grateful for the conversations, collaboration, and connections throughout the week. A few highlights from Austin. 📷

Matter 1.6 is here, bringing new capabilities that help make smart home devices more intelligent, interoperable, and secure. Highlights include: ☑️ Thermostat Suggestions for more context-aware comfort and energy management ☑️ Standardized device capability reporting for improved interoperability ☑️ New enhancements for security sensors and safety devices ☑️ Partitioned Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) to strengthen security at scale Read our latest blog for a closer look at what's new in Matter 1.6 and how these updates support smarter, more reliable connected home experiences: https://lnkd.in/grnB9wkk

A lot of embedded development concepts click faster when there's a real project behind them. Our new Zephyr series uses a Bluetooth SIG Find Me application to explore Bluetooth LE, hardware integration, state machines, and low-power optimization. The series covers everything from Bluetooth services and hardware integration to central/peripheral operation and low-power design. Each stage is provided as a complete application, making it easy to see how the project evolves and why certain design decisions are made. By the end, you'll have a working Bluetooth LE Find Me application and a practical understanding of how the different pieces of Zephyr fit together. https://lnkd.in/gTaG78_M

Matter is ready to scale. This week at Connectivity Standards Alliance's #Unify2026, we announced the successful deployment and operation of a 200-node Matter-over-Thread validation network in a real-world office environment, demonstrating the scalability, reliability and performance needed for commercial buildings, smart homes and large-scale IoT deployments. The results demonstrate reliable commissioning, stable communications and strong performance alongside active Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread traffic, highlighting the industry's evolution from proving interoperability to validating real-world deployment readiness.

Bluetooth® is evolving beyond traditional connectivity into a platform that enables spatial awareness, secure proximity detection, and high‑performance, context‑aware systems. This evolution is driven by a rapidly advancing Bluetooth ecosystem powered by a global community of developers, engineers, and industry leaders. In this Tech Talk, we will explore how Silicon Labs, together with the Bluetooth SIG, are shaping the future of secure, precise, and interoperable Bluetooth technologies. The session provides a technical overview of three key innovations defining the next phase of Bluetooth. Details and registration: https://bit.ly/4olCAFg #BluetoothLE #IoT

2026 APAC Tech Talks - SEA and India Series: “Expanding LPWAN Deployment Models: Enabling Both Large-Scale and Segmented Micro-Mesh Networks” will go live on June 25 at 2:00 PM SST. In this Tech Talk, we will explore how segmented, site-level “micro-mesh” networks are enabling a new class of LPWAN deployments that prioritize faster rollout, lower infrastructure cost, and simplified operations. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of Wi-SUN, and other LPWAN technologies. Register to join the online broadcast: https://bit.ly/4dM4yEw
