In the opening keynote of Silicon Labs’ annual Works With Developer Conference, Silicon Labs CEO Matt Johnson detailed how the era of the Internet of Things is here, and through its breadth of technologies, depth of expertise, and focus on the IoT wireless market, Silicon Labs has ascended to the leadership position in pure-play IoT.  

“By 2025, it’s estimated that there will be 27 billion connected IoT devices, roughly three or four devices per person on the planet,” said Silicon Labs CEO Matt Johnson. “By focusing our Series 2 product offerings and roadmap on connectivity, interoperability, power efficiency, and security, Silicon Labs is positioned to be in each and every one of those devices.”

The Series 2 SoC family was developed under the premise that as the IoT matured, instead of looking for point solutions, the market would be looking for IoT platforms that combine hardware, software, security, tools, and support. The prediction has proven true, and Silicon Labs has nearly doubled its IoT revenue since the first member of the Series 2 family debuted in 2019.
