Semtech Showcases IoT and Sensing Technologies at CES 2026

Key Terms

lorawan technical

LoRaWAN is a wireless networking protocol designed for connecting many small, battery-powered devices over long distances while using very little energy. It lets sensors and meters send short bursts of data — like temperature readings or location pings — to gateways that forward them to cloud services. Investors care because the technology lowers deployment and operating costs, enables large-scale Internet of Things applications, and creates market opportunities for chipmakers, device makers, network operators and service providers; think of it as a frugal postal system that carries brief messages from far-flung devices so they don't need frequent refueling.

perse technical

Per se (Latin for "by itself") indicates that something is true on its own, without needing extra explanation or surrounding facts. For investors, it signals when a fact or action is inherently significant — like a contract clause or a regulatory breach — rather than only meaningful when combined with other information, helping separate standalone risks or rights from issues that require more context, much like judging a single ingredient versus an entire recipe.

electrostatic discharge (esd) technical

Electrostatic discharge is a sudden spark or transfer of electric charge between objects, like the tiny static shock you feel after walking across carpet. In electronics manufacturing and product use it can damage or degrade components, leading to higher defect rates, warranty costs, production delays or recalls, so investors track ESD risk as a driver of quality, margins and supply‑chain stability.

transient voltage suppression (tvs) technical

Transient voltage suppression (TVS) is a protective electronic component that acts like a tiny surge protector for circuits, absorbing sudden spikes in voltage and directing the excess away from sensitive parts. For investors, TVS presence and quality matter because they influence a product’s reliability, warranty costs, regulatory compliance and customer trust—factors that affect sales, margins and competitive position in industries that rely on durable electronics.

esim technical

An esim is a small, built-in electronic SIM card inside a phone, tablet or connected device that stores mobile network credentials digitally instead of using a removable plastic card. For investors it matters because it changes how carriers sell and manage subscriptions, lowers logistics costs for device makers, enables easier switching between networks or plans (including global roaming), and expands opportunities in Internet-of-Things connectivity and recurring revenue services.
