Semtech LoRa Technology Helps Power Amazon Sidewalk’s Global Expansion<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAmazon Sidewalk, a wireless community network operated at no charge to customers that helps devices work better and stay connected beyond home Wi-Fi range, currently covers approximately 95% of the U.S. population1<\/sup>. The expanded collaboration comes as Ring plans to launch its Amazon Sidewalk network globally in 2026. The rollout begins in Canada and Mexico later this month and expands to other regions later this year.<\/p>\n

\nSince 2023, Amazon has chosen LoRa as the long-range connectivity solution for Amazon Sidewalk, enabling IoT sensors<\/a> to operate beyond individual residences and to connect both stationary and mobile devices throughout neighborhoods. This technology transforms Amazon Sidewalk from a Local Area Network into a Wide Area Network, enhances network coverage and plays a key role in enabling the multi-continent expansion.<\/p>\n

\nAmazon Sidewalk represents one of the largest consumer-facing LoRa deployments globally, joining the extensive industrial and enterprise LoRaWAN\u00ae networks that have established LoRa as the market leader in low-power wide-area connectivity. The LoRaWAN IoT connectivity market is experiencing explosive growth, with industry analysts projecting the market will grow from $10.7 billion in 2025 to $44.8 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of 33.1%. The LoRa Alliance\u00ae recently announced LoRaWAN deployments have surpassed 125 million devices globally, achieving a 25% CAGR.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAmazon Sidewalk has consistently been building a secure, community network solving IoT\u2019s hardest problem: invisible, reliable connectivity,\u201d said Jay Desai, general manager at Amazon Sidewalk. \u201cSidewalk transforms connected devices into trusted products by keeping them online when Wi-Fi fails during key moments, eliminating setup friction, and enabling services previously impractical at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAmazon\u2019s embrace of LoRa as the core connectivity technology for Sidewalk validates our vision of enabling the Internet of Things through proven, scalable wireless connectivity,\u201d said Madhu Rayabhari, senior vice president and general manager, analog mixed signal and wireless products group at Semtech. \u201cAs Sidewalk scales to serve tens of millions of devices globally, LoRa\u2019s unique combination of long-range connectivity, ultra-low power consumption and proven network scalability makes it a great foundation for community IoT networks that deliver real value to consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
