The Internet of Things (IoT) spans the world with digital processes and decision centers, enabling digitalization on a global scale across all industries and human activities. IoT devices act as a conduit to acquire and funnel sensor information to back-end algorithms while also locally handling data. We address the constantly evolving requirements of these devices by developing smart, robust, adaptive, and ultra-low-power (ULP) connected platforms, offering standard and customized wireless communication for low latency, real-time, dependable, and scalable communication.
