At Holtek’s 2017 New Product Presentation from Oct. 12 – Nov. 2, Holtek will demonstrate its long distance smoke detector alarm SIP module. The smart fire alarm module integrated with Semtech’s LoRa Technology and Holtek’s new smoke detector MCU will include both an alarm as well as a master controller.

The master controller uses a Holtek M0+ MCU monitor smoke detectors while LoRa Technology implements long distance communication. When a fire is detected by one smoke detector alarm it will communicate with the other smoke detector alarms in a smart building in order to improve public safety in a fire. The product is expected to be released in China by mid-2018.

“By integrating Semtech’s LoRa Technology, Holtek will be able to have an expanded presence in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry as we work together in building smart home applications,” said Kuo-Cheng Yu, Associate Vice President at Holtek.

“Semtech’s LoRa Technology’s key features – long range, low power and easy deployment – allows companies, like Holtek, to adopt LoRa technology into lifesaving products such as the smoke alarm SIP module ” said Mike Wong, Vice President of Marketing and Applications for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “LoRa Technology is the platform of choice for building IoT applications globally making our world a smarter planet.”
