AUSTIN,
Texas and TAMPERE,
Finland, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Labs
(NASDAQ: SLAB), the leading innovator in low-power wireless
solutions, and Wirepas, a global leader in
decentralized IoT connectivity, today announced they
have shipped 10 million wireless SoCs running Wirepas' RF mesh
connectivity software, primarily in the Indian market with the
Silicon Labs sub-GHz FG23 SoC. These chips power some of the
world's largest and most demanding industrial mesh networks across
sectors including smart electricity metering, emergency lighting,
industrial monitoring and building automation.
The two companies have a long history of collaboration enabling
robust, ultra-resilient and massively scalable IoT networks that
meet the scale, security, and reliability demands of
industrial-grade applications. This milestone confirms that their
joint solution is not just technically sound, it is market-proven
at scale, and ready to support the digital backbone of global
infrastructure.
In December 2024, Silicon Labs and
Wirepas announced that four million smart electric meters using
Wirepas Mesh software had been deployed in India built on the sub-GHz FG13 and FG23
platforms, helping the country meet the goals of its Advanced
Metering Initiative. The solution provides reliable, cost-effective
connectivity across dense, complex environments, being a critical
enabler for India's ambitious grid
modernization and electrification goals.
Another standout success is in Norway, where more than one million
similarly-equipped smart meters are connected in a single
decentralized mesh network, one of the largest of its
kind in the world. These types of deployments demonstrate that
robust, self-healing mesh connectivity can now support
national-scale infrastructure, laying the groundwork for smarter,
more efficient, and more sustainable infrastructure powering cities
and industries.
Other segments are also gaining momentum, with some, such as the
emergency lighting sector, experiencing very high adoption
rates.
"Our partnership with Wirepas is built on a shared vision: to
enable industrial-grade wireless connectivity at scale," said
Ross Sabolcik, Senior Vice President
of Product Lines at Silicon Labs. "By combining Silicon Labs'
energy-efficient wireless platforms with Wirepas'
decentralized mesh stack, we help our customers build
massive, secure, and resilient IoT networks faster and more
cost-effectively. We're excited to continue driving transformation
across industries together."
"This 10-million milestone demonstrates the unmatched
scalability and resilience of our joint solution," said Teppo
Hemiä, CEO of Wirepas. "With Silicon Labs' hardware and our
mesh software, we've enabled massive networks that simply work,
even in the most challenging conditions. Our partnership is helping
industries solve real problems at the infrastructure level,
accelerating the digitalization and electrification of
society."
