Back by popular demand, Silicon Labs presents the return of Tech Talks! Explore dedicated Matter, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wireless Compute, and LPWAN tracks for unparalleled insights and cutting-edge innovation.
These one-hour technical trainings, presented by engineers and developers, cover the most important aspects of IoT wireless connectivity.
This year’s topics include dedicated technology series for Matter, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LPWAN, and Wireless Compute in order to help build the development skills needed to deliver cutting-edge products. The sessions take place at 10:00 AM CST on Thursdays, starting on February 8th and continuing through to the end of June.
After a series of successful hands-on Virtual Bluetooth Workshops last Summer, we are pleased to announce that Silicon Labs will be hosting new Bluetooth workshops throughout 2021 due to popular demand; the first session will be on the Silicon Labs BG22 Thunderboard.
On Tuesday 19th January 2021, Silicon Labs will be hosting the first free Bluetooth workshop based on the BG22 Project series. In this 90 minute session, Silicon Labs will cover different challenges that developers may face when building new Bluetooth designs.
Dates & Times:
The first session is January 19th, 2021at 09:00 AM GMT/10:00AM CET. Sessions will continue to take place monthly on every third Tuesday throughout 2021. Click here to register for free.
The BG22 Workshop
Learn new ways to integrate Bluetooth connectivity into your next project with the help of Silicon Labs expert engineers. Each project session will explore and solve challenges developers often face when building new Bluetooth designs. These solutions will be demonstrated using Silicon Labs ultra-low-power and secure EFR32BG22 Bluetooth 5.2 SoC.
Attendees will have access to live Q&A and 1:1 support to assist in completing the documented and recorded exercises. Registrants are encouraged to follow along with your own Silicon Labs’ BG22 Thunderboard, available to all registrants.
Live Workshop Session Agenda
Topic introduction: 10-15 minutes
Lab exercise: 60 minutes
Extended time for Q&A and technical support: 45 minutes
Technical support offered throughout the 2-hour session
What You’ll Experience
Technical training delivered by Silicon Labs experts
Live Q&A chat throughout session
Dedicated technical support rooms for 1:1 troubleshooting
A complimentary BG22 Thunderboard is available to all registrants who have not attended a previous BG22 workshop and will be shipped after registration and address verification is complete (does not apply to partners and Silicon Labs employees).
Silicon Labs Completes Acquisition of Redpine Signals’ Connectivity Business, Expanding Its IoT Wireless Technology Leadership
“This acquisition is fantastic news for Solid State Supplies as it strengthens our IoT product portfolio. We’re looking forward to working with new and existing customers to support them with this new product offering” said Matt Cook, Product Manager for Silicon Labs.
Redpine’s low-power Wi-Fi assets and intellectual property provide important technology for IoT connectivity. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), the latest evolution of the Wi-Fi standard, is designed to meet the low power, performance, security and interoperability requirements needed in environments with hundreds or thousands of connected IoT devices. The integration of Redpine Signals’ assets will accelerate Silicon Labs’ roadmap for Wi-Fi 6 technology. The acquisition also adds Bluetooth Classic IP for audio applications such as wearables, hearables, voice assistants and smart speakers.
