LoRa Plus LR2021 and LoRa Connect LR1121 Solutions Power Advanced IoT Deployments From Edge to Cloud.

Semtech Corporation will showcase its groundbreaking IoT innovations at IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) in Barcelona, May 13-15, 2025.

As part of the LoRa Alliance’s “Building Massive IoT with LoRaWAN®” program, Semtech will demonstrate how its fourth-generation LoRa technology is revolutionizing connectivity for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered IoT deployments worldwide.

Pioneering Multi-Band Connectivity Solutions for Global IoT

Semtech’s booth will feature cutting-edge demonstrations of its recently launched LoRa Plus LR2021 transceiver with LoRa Gen 4 technology, which supports both terrestrial and SATCOM networks across multiple frequency bands and offers increased data rate up to 2.6 Mbps at both 2.4 GHz and Sub-GHz ISM bands.

This revolutionary chip addresses the growing demand for AI-enabled edge devices requiring low-power, extended range, and superior penetration capabilities. It complements widely-used LoRa technology, supported by a broad ecosystem servicing over 410 million end nodes.

Shobhit Srivastava, senior principal analyst at Omdia, said:

“LoRaWAN technology continues to cement its position as a global leader in the LPWAN market, with connections projected to reach 1.3 billion by 2030.”

“Outside China, LoRaWAN remains the leading LPWAN connectivity technology due to its mature ecosystem and differentiated offerings. As LoRaWAN adoption accelerates worldwide, innovations like these from Semtech are enabling organizations to deploy intelligent, efficient IoT solutions that address real-world challenges from climate monitoring and resource management to smart metering and asset tracking.”

“The IoT Solutions World Congress provides the perfect venue to showcase how our latest LoRa innovations are transforming IoT deployments across industries,” said Olivier Beaujard, LoRa Alliance board chair and senior director, LoRa ecosystem at Semtech.

“Our demonstrations will highlight how Semtech’s technologies enable unparalleled flexibility, connectivity and intelligence at the edge while maintaining the low power consumption and long-range characteristics for which LoRaWAN is well-known.”

Beaujard will moderate a panel titled Safeguarding People and Planet with LoRaWAN that will go into detail on applications, including managing solar panels, assessing wildfire risk in cities, monitoring soil humidity for optimized irrigation, and the automatic opening of shelters in war zones. The panel will take place on Wednesday, May 14 at 1:35 pm local time.
