IoT Technology

Altair technology pioneers ultra-low power consumption for IoT devices. By optimizing silicon design and software development, we ensure minimal energy use. Our focus on low-power silicon architecture, efficient RF and physical layer design, and reduced-frequency DSP and accelerator blocks minimizes power consumption. Smart memory integration, deep sleep modes, and optimized firmware further enhance energy efficiency. We prioritize long battery life by tailoring communication protocols and optimizing power usage at both device and system levels.

The ALT1250 integrates Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) technology, enabling devices to connect to satellites and expanding coverage beyond terrestrial networks. Key benefits include ubiquitous coverage in remote and underserved areas, increased resilience during network disruptions, cost-effective integration into existing cellular chips, seamless switching between terrestrial and satellite networks, and wideband support for flexible deployment. Altair’s NTN solution empowers IoT devices to operate reliably in challenging environments, enabling innovative applications and services.

Altair chips integrate multi-layered hardware and software safeguards to protect against security threats. Key features include robust service access controls, integrated SIM, secure key management, regular security updates, privacy protections, resilient infrastructure, and seamless integration. By prioritizing security, Altair chips enable businesses to deploy IoT devices with confidence, knowing their data and operations are protected.

Altair chips offer a range of location capabilities to meet diverse tracking needs. From basic cell ID-based positioning to advanced GNSS-powered precision tracking, our chips provide accurate and reliable location information — whether you need an approximate location for general tracking or precise positioning for critical applications.

Altair developed the first and only cellular IoT chip with an integrated SIM commercially available in the market. The iSIM removes the need for a physical card and is delivered as a fully integrated solution inside the modem, providing a truly seamless customer experience. With iSIM, connecting a device is as easy as switching it on. Any device with an iSIM-enabled modem inside benefits from global out-of-the-box connectivity. Integrating the SIM functionality into the SoC accelerates and simplifies our customers’ ability to create a variety of cellular IoT devices.
