STMicroelectronics and Qualcomm
enter strategic collaboration in wireless
IoT
- Strategic collaboration will pair STMicroelectronics’
market-leading STM32 microcontroller ecosystem and Qualcomm’s
world-leading wireless connectivity solutions.
- Seamless integration into existing STM32 developer ecosystem to
allow simple, fast, and cost-effective design of next-gen
industrial and consumer IoT applications augmented by edge AI.
Geneva and San Diego, October 1, 2024 –
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader
serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications,
and Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd., a subsidiary of
Qualcomm Incorporated, announce today a new strategic collaboration
for the next generation of industrial and consumer IoT solutions
augmented by edge AI. This highly complementary collaboration will
see the two companies integrate Qualcomm Technologies' leading
AI-powered wireless connectivity technologies, starting with
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread combo system-on-a-chip (SoC), with the
market-leading microcontroller (MCU) ecosystem from ST. Through
this collaboration, developers will enjoy seamless connectivity
software integration into STM32 general-purpose MCUs, including
software toolkits, facilitating quick and broad adoption via ST’s
world-wide sales and distributor channels.
Remi El-Ouazzane, President, Microcontrollers, Digital ICs and
RF Products Group, for STMicroelectronics said: “Wireless
connectivity is key to the fast pervasion of edge AI across an
ever-growing variety of use cases in enterprise, industrial and
personal applications. This is why we are establishing a strategic
collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies on wireless connectivity
today, starting with Wi-Fi/BT/Thread combo SoC, and already
considering next steps, complementing our existing multi-protocol
Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, Thread and sub-GHz products
portfolio. We envision wireless connectivity products based on
technology from Qualcomm Technologies augmenting any of our STM32
products, bringing significant value to our more than 100,000 STM32
customers globally.”
Rahul Patel, Group General Manager, Connectivity, Broadband and
Networking Business Unit for Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. said:
"Qualcomm Technologies' research and development leadership has
helped drive the evolution of wireless IoT, ranging from pioneering
4G/5G, to high performance Wi-Fi, to micropower connectivity
solutions. Our collaboration with STMicroelectronics pairs Qualcomm
Technologies’ best-in-class connectivity offerings with ST’s
leading STM32 microcontroller ecosystem and will help drive a
significant acceleration of feature-rich capabilities across the
IoT. Together, we are setting new developer experiences for IoT
applications, supporting seamless integration and optimal
performance for developers and end-users alike."
Focusing on the broader market, ST plans to introduce
self-contained modules utilizing Qualcomm Technologies’
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread combo SoC portfolio, which can be
system-level integrated with any STM32 general-purpose
microcontrollers. Wireless connectivity optimized and made
available to ST’s developer ecosystem through ST’s well established
software platform will contribute to reducing development time and
time-to-market. The initial product offerings resulting from this
collaboration are expected to be available to OEMs in Q1 2025, with
broader availability to follow. This is a first step in a
collaboration that envisions a roadmap of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread
combo SoC products over time, with the intention to extend into
cellular connectivity for industrial IoT applications.
Andrew Zignani, Senior Research Director, ABI Research,
commented “With the installed base of consumer, commercial and
industrial connected devices expected to reach well over 80 billion
units by 2028, the proliferation of high-performance wireless
connectivity solutions combined with a diverse suite of
microcontrollers will be fundamental in enabling this next wave of
wireless IoT innovation. This collaboration between
STMicroelectronics and Qualcomm Technologies is a perfect match
thanks to ST’s leading microcontroller ecosystem and Qualcomm
Technologies’ R&D leadership in wireless connectivity, and the
growing availability of these combined solutions will enable
companies to address this dynamic IoT market more simply, more
quickly, and more cost-effectively in the years to come.”
