IOTE Shenzhen 2025 was a major success, drawing 70,000 participants to this year's show. Semtech's presence became a focal point for next-generation LoRa® technology, featuring live demonstrations, executive presentations and strategic partnership announcements. The three-day event reinforced the leading position of LoRa technology in intelligent Internet of Things(IoT) connectivity throughout China and internationally. 

The 1990s marked a transformative decade for Semtech as the company executed a strategic pivot from its historical dependence on military and aerospace markets toward broader commercial opportunities. This period of reinvention established Semtech as a significant player in the protection technology and analog semiconductor landscape, creating the foundation for its future as a diversified technology leader. 

Over the past decade, solar photovoltaic technology has evolved from a niche market to becoming the world's leading clean energy source. As installations scale, operators face rising costs, technician shortages and complex monitoring demands. With the O&M market projected to reach $9.48B by 2025, the employers report workforce gaps and over half seek cost reductions. Yet, fewer than 1% of systems have real-time monitoring in place. To meet these challenges, the industry must embrace predictive maintenance and smarter infrastructure enabled by easy to install and maintain, long-range communication technologies like LoRa®。
