IndieSemiC, an Indian fabless semiconductor company specializing in homegrown chip design, has partnered with Semtech Corporation to incorporate LoRa technology into its upcoming Sabarmati-1 System-in-Package (SiP) platform. The collaboration, announced in the presence of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), is intended to create what the companies describe as the world’s first 64-bit LoRa-enabled SiP. The platform is designed to support low-power, long-range wireless connectivity for applications such as the IoT, smart metering, and smart city infrastructure.
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.”
