IndieSemiC Private Limited, an India-based fabless semiconductor company focused on indigenous chip design, has entered a technology collaboration with Semtech Corporation to integrate Semtech’s LoRa technology into its next-generation System-in-Package (SiP) platform, Sabarmati-1. Formalized in the presence of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the collaboration aims to deliver what is envisioned as the world’s first 64-bit LoRa-enabled SiP, enabling next-generation, low-power, long-range wireless connectivity for IoT, smart metering, and smart city applications.
The Sabarmati family is being developed as a 64-bit, general-purpose SiP platform based on the VEGA RISC-V architecture, with Semtech’s LoRa technology integrated at the system-in-package level. The design combines 64-bit processing with ultra-low-power, long-range wireless connectivity, bringing IndieSemiC’s semiconductor design capabilities together with Semtech’s globally adopted LoRa technology in a single integrated package. The platform is being designed to support a broad range of IoT use cases: industrial automation, smart cities, asset tracking, smart lighting, smart metering, agriculture, logistics, and healthcare — addressing the growing demand for intelligent, connected systems built on low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN).
Commenting on the collaboration, Nikul Shah, Founder and CEO of IndieSemiC, said, “The future of IoT will not be defined by connectivity or compute in isolation — it will be shaped by how intelligently the two are integrated. Through Sabarmati-1, our collaboration with Semtech brings together advanced 64-bit computing and globally adopted LoRa technology. For India, this is more than a product roadmap; it’s a demonstration that indigenous semiconductor design can contribute meaningfully to global technology innovation.”
