2026 APAC Tech Talks - SEA & India English Series

LPWAN technologies have enabled some of the world’s largest and most reliable outdoor IoT networks, particularly in utility and smart city deployments. As the market expands into commercial, industrial, and campus-scale applications, a complementary deployment model is emerging alongside these large-scale networks.

This session explores how segmented, site-level “micro-mesh” networks are enabling a new class of deployments that prioritize faster rollout, lower infrastructure cost, and simplified operations. We will examine how architectures are evolving, including the role of simplified, SoC-based border routers and flexible backhaul options such as Wi-Fi and LTE.

Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how technologies like Wi-SUN, along with other LPWAN approaches such as Mioty and Wirepas, map to different deployment models. The session will provide guidance on how to select the right architecture based on scale, topology, and operational requirements, and how to design networks that balance performance, cost, and long-term manageability.

As IoT devices become more context-aware, spatial awareness is emerging as a key capability for enabling more secure, responsive, and intuitive user experiences. Bluetooth Channel Sounding is a practical new approach to delivering that awareness, combining improved ranging accuracy with the scalability and ecosystem reach of Bluetooth. In this Tech Talk, Silicon Labs will provide a practical look at Channel Sounding through a brief technology overview, Silicon Labs algorithm approaches and their performance trade-offs, and the software support available to accelerate development.

Attendees will also get a sneak peek at upcoming Silicon Labs hardware for Channel Sounding and a look at what’s ahead.
