Three Ways Silicon Labs Is Defining the Future of the IoT at CES 2026

As the leading innovator in low-power wireless, Silicon Labs empowers these innovations to scale. We bring the breadth, depth, and focus necessary to help device makers build consumer products that are secure, intelligent, and ready for the real world.

We’ll be front and center in the action in our Silicon Labs Suite on the 3rd floor of the Venetian in Toscana 3710, and you can visit us at anytime during exhibition hours or request a meeting to reserve a time.

1. Silicon Labs Demos: Power and Precision for IoT Applications

We are featuring two demonstrations that showcase the full capabilities of our xG24 family of SoCs. Designed for the most demanding IoT applications, this platform combines high-performance processing, AI acceleration, and Secure Vault™ technology to handle complex workloads without compromise.

• Motor Control Breakthrough with the MG24 SoC: Historically, driving a high-speed motor while maintaining a wireless connection required separate devices. We are challenging that architecture with a demo featuring our single MG24 SoC running a full closed-loop BLDC motor control system, controlled via a smartphone app, on a single chip.
• Bluetooth® Channel Sounding: We are also demonstrating Bluetooth® Channel Sounding on the xG24, showing how this technology equips devices with "true distance awareness" to enable a new tier of secure, proximity-based applications.

See both demos live at the Silicon Labs Suite on Level 3 of the Venetian in Toscana 3710.

2. Customer Innovations Breaking the Mold

With thousands of Silicon Labs’ customers around the world, it’s no surprise that some of them would showcase at CES 2026. While there are too many to list, here are three you can’t miss:

• Intelligent Sensing with Aizip (Booth #9021, LVCC North Hall) In partnership with Aizip, we are demonstrating how Edge AI can outperform traditional sensors by distinguishing between complex acoustic events in real time. Our AI-enabled glass break detection reference design addresses this by using a proprietary deep neural network to listen not just for the initial breaking of glass, but for the secondary impact of shards hitting surrounding surfaces.
• Multi-factor Access Control with Durin, Inc (Booth #60462, Eureka Park): Check out the brand-new Durin Door Manager. Powered by the Silicon Labs MG24 SoC, this device moves beyond simple smart lock logs to provide true identity verification. By combining multi-factor confirmation with real-time entry snapshots, Durin eliminates the security gap of shared access codes and lets you know exactly who walked through the door, not just when it opened.
• Battery-Free Sensors with Powercast (Booth #51716, Venetian Expo): Explore how battery-free innovation is redefining efficiency. Powercast is showcasing a battery-free RFID sensor powered by the Silicon Labs BB5 MCU, proving that extreme efficiency can eliminate the need for battery replacements in connected edge devices.

3. Leading the Conversation on Wireless Connectivity for the Smart Home

• Parks Associates CONNECTIONS Summit at CES (Tuesday, January 6, 9:00 am PT, Lando 4304, Level 4, The Venetian): Colin Cureton, Product Line Manager at Silicon Labs, joins the opening panel of Parks Associates’ CONNECTIONS Summit at CES, “Beyond the Buzz: AI Impact and Revenues in the Smart Home,” to discuss how applications, business models, and revenue streams have been affected by AI.
• Z-Wave @ CES (Tuesday, January 6, 4:00pm PT, Titian 2205, Level 2, The Venetian): Silicon Labs Senior Field Application Engineer Mark Umina will be participating in a fireside chat in the Z-Wave Alliance ballroom discussing how smart locks can use Z-Wave for user credential verification. He will also be showing how Z-Wave Long Range can complement Amazon Sidewalk to seamlessly communicate across both networks for an interoperable smart home using a single Silicon Labs SoC.
• Tuya Developer Day (Wednesday, January 7, 3:10 pm PT, LVCC, Central Hall, Booth #16838): Colin Cureton, Product Line Vice President for the Home Business at Silicon Labs, takes the stage with during Tuya Developer Day to discuss how Silicon Labs' hardware is enabling the next generation of interoperable, AI-ready applications.
