These chips power some of the world’s largest and most demanding industrial mesh networks across sectors including smart electricity metering, emergency lighting, industrial monitoring and building automation.
The two companies have a long history of collaboration enabling robust, ultra-resilient and massively scalable IoT networks that meet the scale, security, and reliability demands of industrial-grade applications.
In December 2024, Silicon Labs and Wirepas announced that four million smart electric meters using Wirepas Mesh software had been deployed in India built on the sub-GHz FG13 and FG23 platforms, helping the country meet the goals of its Advanced Metering Initiative. The solution provides reliable, cost-effective connectivity across dense, complex environments, being a critical enabler for India’s ambitious grid modernisation and electrification goals.
In Norway, more than one million similarly-equipped smart meters are connected in a single decentralised mesh network, one of the largest of its kind in the world.
These types of deployments demonstrate that robust, self-healing mesh connectivity can now support national-scale infrastructure, laying the groundwork for smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable infrastructure powering cities and industries.
Other segments are also gaining momentum, with some, such as the emergency lighting sector, experiencing very high adoption rates.
“Our partnership with Wirepas is built on a shared vision: to enable industrial-grade wireless connectivity at scale” said Ross Sabolcik, Senior Vice President of Product Lines at Silicon Labs. “By combining Silicon Labs’ energy-efficient wireless platforms with Wirepas’ decentralised mesh stack, we help our customers build massive, secure, and resilient IoT networks faster and more cost-effectively. We’re excited to continue driving transformation across industries together.”
