Silicon Labs

The 2026 Matter Open Day wrapped up last week, co-hosted by the Connectivity Standards Alliance China Member Group (CMGC) and the CBD Fair Expo (Guangzhou). As a Silver Sponsor, we were proud to participate in both the keynote and panel discussion, while showcasing our leading Matter one-stop solution, innovative multi-protocol gateway, and the Aliro smart lock reference design co-developed with local customers. Rob Alexander, Principal Product Manager of Silicon Labs and Vice Chair of the CSA Board of Directors, together with Sky Liu, Sr. Manager, APJ Ecosystem of Silicon Labs and Vice Chair of the CSA China Member Group, along with our South China sales team joined on site to connect with industry customers, ecosystem partners, and developers. Their participation reinforced Silicon Labs' commitment to advancing the local Matter ecosystem and empowering developers with the technology and support they need.

Call for talk proposals is now open for the Zephyr Project Meetup in Hyderabad, India! Join us on August 5, 2026, for an in-person meetup organized by dotstar systems, with Silicon Labs serving as the venue host. We are looking for technical talks on Zephyr use cases, subsystem updates, developer tooling, security, documentation, connectivity, power management, AI/ML, products running Zephyr, and more. Whether you’re a maintainer, developer, contributor, or someone building with Zephyr in the field, we would love to hear from you. Please note: this is a technical community meetup, and sales pitches will not be accepted. This meetup is a great opportunity to share your work, connect with the Zephyr community, and explore dependable, low-power embedded systems with others working in open source and embedded development. Seats are limited, so register soon to secure your spot. Learn more, submit a proposal, and register: https://hubs.la/Q04n_TpX0 Chaitanya Tata Ashish Bajaj

The latest Simplicity SDK for Zephyr release expands support for the Silicon Labs SiWx917. Developers can now build with our ultra-low-power Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth® LE wireless SoC on a fully verified Zephyr software foundation. Read our blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g5vx-3qV

Life at Silicon Labs lately... Sports tournaments, picnics, volunteer projects, celebrations, performances, urban gardens... just a few of the employee-led activities bringing our global sites together. 📸 Some highlights from our teams around the world. #LifeAtSiliconLabs

The true measure of an outdoor IoT network isn't how well it connects, it's how well it performs as the network grows. Our latest whitepaper examines the performance metrics that matter most for large-scale Wi-SUN deployments, including network formation, recovery, latency, OTA updates, and scalability, with results validated on Silicon Labs' Large Test Network of more than 1,000 nodes.

India's Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) is helping drive one of the world's largest smart meter deployments, with a goal of transitioning 250 million conventional meters to smart meters by 2027. Meeting the associated service level agreements requires more than reliable connectivity. Utilities need communication networks that can consistently deliver low latency, rapid network recovery, efficient over-the-air updates, and predictable performance at scale. Our latest blog explores the network characteristics that matter most for utility-grade AMI deployments and explains why Wi-SUN FAN 1.1 provides a strong foundation for meeting India's smart meter SLA requirements.

India continues to be a hub for innovation, talent, and collaboration, and we are proud to help support the next generation of embedded and IoT engineers through our university and ecosystem initiatives. Recent highlights include: ▫️ A successful Edge Intelligence Challenge showcasing student innovation in edge technologies. ▫️ New university partnerships and continued collaboration with leading academic institutions. ▫️ Hands-on workshops and technical sessions using Silicon Labs development platforms. ▫️ Expansion of our IoT Centers of Excellence network to 14 innovation labs across India. ▫️ Student projects featured on the Silicon Labs GitHub. ▫️ Ongoing engagement with the engineering ecosystem through technical talks and industry events. Together with our academic and industry partners, we're helping create more opportunities for students to learn, build, and innovate with connected technologies.

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
