Accelerate advanced IoT deployment with multiprotocol wireless MCU modules

Emerging applications require flexible IoT device solutions that can support specialised requirements for hardware, software, and communications without compromising security or power budgets. In a growing number of applications, IoT devices are also expected to support multiple connectivity options. Each must be capable of maintaining reliable communications in increasingly crowded RF environments with various sources of radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

In these applications, different wireless protocols are essential for serving specific application requirements. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 provides improved quality-of-service scheduling to maintain throughput in dense networks; BLE supports the need for low-power operation in short-range communications; and Thread enables large-scale, self-healing IPv6 mesh networks with device authentication and AES-128 encryption. These multiple connectivity options provide the foundation for the Matter protocol, which is an IP-based application layer that can operate over Wi-Fi or Thread, while relying on BLE for device commissioning and secure onboarding.

What electronics buyers check before they ever get in touch

A technical buyer rarely starts a supplier relationship with a phone call. Long before anyone picks up the phone or fills in a contact form, they’ve usually already been round a supplier’s website two or three times, searched for the specific capability they need, checked LinkedIn to see if the company is actually active, and looked for evidence that someone else has trusted this supplier with a similar job. By the time contact happens, a good part of the decision has already been shaped.

I work in marketing with UK engineering, electronics, and hardware SMEs, and this pattern shows up constantly. Companies with genuinely strong technical capability, sometimes with decades of delivery behind them, still lose ground in that early research phase simply because they don’t know it’s happening, or assume it doesn’t apply to a specialist, relationship-led market like theirs. It applies. Even in sectors where deals are won on trust and technical fit, buyers still do the digital groundwork first, if only to build the shortlist they’ll trust enough to ring.

What are they actually looking for in that phase? From what I see across client and prospect research, it comes down to five things.

Webinar: key design considerations for humanoid robotics 📣

Our upcoming webinar will be hosted by Paige Hookway, Managing Editor, Electronic Specifier and is free to attend and open to all, with the session set to be recorded for anyone unable to join live.

Humanoid robotics has moved rapidly from research labs to commercial roadmaps, with major players including Tesla, Figure, Agility Robotics, and Unitree all publicly targeting production timelines within the next few years. That shift is bringing a distinct set of engineering challenges to the fore – ones that don’t map neatly onto existing robotics or automation experience.

This webinar will unpack those challenges directly.

🗓️ Tuesday, September 8, 2026 · 2:00 p.m. · London

20 years at the heart of the electronics industry 🎉

Electronic Specifier is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, marking two decades of change across the electronics industry and looking ahead to the technologies, people, and ideas that will shape the next 20 years.

The anniversary will be celebrated through a special edition of Electronic Specifier Design, a new film bringing together voices from across Electronic Specifier’s history, and a programme of activity at electronica 2026 – inviting the industry to be part of the milestone.

When Electronic Specifier launched in 2006, the electronics publishing landscape looked very different. Print remained dominant, digital media was still emerging, and many of the technologies that now shape everyday life were at very different stages of development.

“Our vision was never really to simply create a digital version of a print magazine. It was to build a platform and a portfolio of products that could evolve as technology evolved,” explains Electronic Specifier CEO Steve Regnier in the anniversary film.

Positioning X-FAB as the answer to legacy node obsolescence and supply chain risks

The global semiconductor supply chain is facing a critical friction point, but it is not due to a lack of demand for mature technologies. Instead, the challenge lies in a structural shift among conventional pure-play foundries. Many traditional manufacturers have stopped investing in their 200mm facilities, actively scaling down legacy capacities or repurposing their lines for advanced packaging and high-end digital logic. For automotive, industrial, and medical equipment manufacturers who rely on long-lifecycle applications, this divestment creates a severe and sudden risk of component obsolescence.

In stark contrast to this industry flight, X-FAB has adopted a dedicated specialty foundry strategy. Rather than abandoning mature nodes, X-FAB has continuously invested in and modernised its 200mm manufacturing facilities. This capital commitment does not just expand production volumes; it actively secures the long-term availability of specialised analog/mixed-signal processes for the next 15 to 20 years.
