CARLSBAD, CA, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Definitive agreement integrates Trident’s ELCap™ platform and SDK with Semtech’s LoRa Plus™ transceivers, adding Z-Wave connectivity to its existing LoRaWAN® capability. Zigbee and Thread/Matter to follow later.
Trident IoT, a leading provider of multi-protocol IoT development solutions, today announced a definitive agreement with Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC) that enables Semtech’s LoRa Plus™ family of transceivers onto Trident’s award-winning ELCap™ development platform and SDK. The collaboration delivers a comprehensive, turnkey solution for next-generation multi-protocol smart home, security and Industrial IoT applications. Developers now have the flexibility to choose between Trident’s cost-effective System on Chip or Semtech’s high-performance transceivers without rewriting applications or switching toolchains.
The partnership addresses the growing complexity IoT developers face in supporting multiple connectivity standards. By adding Semtech’s advanced LoRa Plus™ family, including the LR2021 Multi-PHY transceiver to Trident IoT’s production-ready ELCap™ platform, the solution eliminates traditional development fragmentation and accelerates time-to-market for manufacturers of smart home, security, and Industrial IoT devices.
Enabling Seamless Multi-Protocol Development
“This agreement represents a significant milestone in Trident IoT’s mission to simplify multi-protocol IoT development,” said Mariusz Malkowski, Chief Technology Officer of Trident IoT. “By combining our ELCap™ platform and comprehensive SDK with Semtech’s industry-leading LoRa Plus™ transceivers, we’re delivering a truly integrated solution that removes the barriers that have traditionally complicated multi-protocol development. This enables our customers to focus on product innovation and differentiation rather than wrestling with connectivity implementation challenges.”
The collaboration leverages Trident IoT’s expertise in multi-protocol software development with Semtech’s established leadership in low-power connectivity, extending Semtech’s LoRa Plus platform strategy beyond its existing LoRaWAN® and Amazon Sidewalk offerings to address complementary smart home protocols.
“This definitive agreement establishes Semtech as the performance leader and comprehensive solution provider for multi-protocol IoT connectivity,” said Madhu Rayabhari, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Semtech’s analog, mixed-signal, and wireless products group. “By integrating Trident IoT’s production-ready development tools with our award-winning 4th generation LR2021, we’re delivering the industry’s most complete solution for smart home and security applications. Our customers benefit from a single-source platform that combines proven silicon with robust software tools, significantly reducing their development complexity and accelerating their path to market.”
Comprehensive Multi-Protocol Roadmap
Trident IoT and Semtech will deliver a phased rollout of protocol support across the LoRa Plus platform:
• Seamless integration between Trident’s ELCap™ platform and SDK with Semtech’s LR2021 transceiver and LoRaWAN® protocol
• Z-Wave will be the first new protocol released for the LR2021 transceiver, delivering secure, low-latency connectivity proven in smart home applications.
• Zigbee and Thread/Matter are expected to follow at a later date. This will further strengthen market coverage in smart home, security and Industrial IoT sectors.
• ELCap™ will continue to support Trident IoT’s existing silicon portfolio, enabling developers to choose the optimum device for each application.
Availability
Beta units featuring the integrated Trident-Semtech solution are expected to be available to select development partners and early design-in customers in calendar Q2 2026.
