EMASS–Semtech Alliance Accelerates Autonomous Edge AI with Long-Range, Ultra-Low-Power Connectivity
Integration of EMASS’s ECS-DoT AI SoCs with Semtech’s LoRa® transceivers delivers long-range, battery-efficient autonomous sensing for industrial, IoT, and next-generation security applications, with live demos debuting at CES 2026.
EMASS, a Nanoveu subsidiary specializing in next-generation semiconductor technology, announced a strategic collaboration with Semtech to bring low-power edge AI solutions integrated with LoRaWAN® connectivity to market. EMASS's ECS-DoT AI-enabled system-on-chips (SoCs) integrate Semtech's LoRa® transceivers, enabling long-range, battery-efficient intelligence for industrial, IoT, and other connected applications. The integration enables systems to process data locally, reduce network load, and deliver actionable insights in real time, even in power-constrained environments.
"Combining ECS-DoT's on-device AI with Semtech's LoRaWAN connectivity enables autonomous sensing in environments where traditional solutions can't operate—from remote industrial sites to battery-powered security devices," said Mark Goranson, CEO of EMASS. "By processing data locally and transmitting only meaningful events, this integration extends battery life and enables real-time decision-making at the edge."
"LoRa transceivers extend the reach of always-on edge AI sensors to environments where traditional connectivity solutions can't operate or scale effectively," said Shahar Feldman, Semtech's senior director of wireless ICs product marketing. "By working with EMASS, we're delivering practical solutions that give engineers the tools to deploy autonomous sensing at scale—whether monitoring remote industrial assets or enabling next-generation security systems."
As part of the collaboration, EMASS and Semtech are showcasing reference designs at CES 2026, demonstrating real-world applications of the integrated technology:
- Predictive Maintenance Demo: ECS-DoT edge AI, paired with Semtech's LR1121 LoRa transceiver, analyzes vibration and environmental sensor data on-device and transmits equipment health indicators over LoRaWAN to a centralized dashboard, demonstrating ultra-efficient, scalable monitoring for industrial environments.
- Security Detection Demo: ECS-DoT performs real-time audio classification and, together with Semtech's LR1121, transmits alerts over LoRaWAN for critical acoustic events, such as glass breaks and gunshots, delivering fast, reliable detection for next-generation security devices.
