Overcoming Connectivity Issues for Chief Product Officers: Semtech Provides a Solution
Semtech Strengthens Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure with Smart Connectivity Solutions
Semtech Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance semiconductors, IoT systems, and cloud connectivity services, is making strides in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry. The company's focus is on delivering reliable and secure connectivity solutions, ensuring a seamless charging experience for EV drivers.
Semtech's global network operations center operates 24/7, monitoring network quality and issuing proactive notifications to Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) of any anomalies. This proactive approach guarantees highly resilient connectivity, a crucial factor for CPOs whose businesses heavily rely on uninterrupted connectivity.
Raphael Atayi, an expert in EV Charging Cellular Connectivity at Semtech, emphasizes the need for a reliable and secure link between chargers and the platform. He underscores that connectivity failures can lead to non-functioning businesses for CPOs, and for an operator, their entire business depends on connectivity.
Semtech's system integrates multiple identities and profiles, allowing a charger to connect to various operators in the same area when coverage permits. This integration enables the charger to self-recover without any human intervention in case of a connectivity issue, significantly reducing downtime.
Semtech's Smart Connectivity enables CPOs to test and resolve connectivity issues, and automatically switch to multiple operators for coverage. This was demonstrated in a project with eWays in the Nordic countries, where Semtech's Smart Connectivity enabled the CPO to expand into other countries, experiencing improved coverage and simplified logistics.
Semtech offers "Managed Broadband Access" for CPOs, providing all the building blocks needed for connectivity and operating them on behalf of the CPOs. This allows CPOs to focus on deploying the infrastructure, rather than managing the connectivity aspects.
Semtech's solutions are designed for high resilience and are deployed in over 190 countries, making it possible for CPOs to find a connectivity solution anywhere. The company works with both new and established CPOs, offering expertise, avoiding pitfalls, and ensuring sustainable connectivity for new CPOs, and helping established CPOs overcome connectivity challenges.
In addition to its physical presence at various events such as Move America in late September, the London EV Show from the 26th to the 28th of November, and the International Mobility Portal Summit on 2nd October, Semtech also employs advanced AI technologies such as Deep Learning and Generative AI to automatically assess threats and enforce security policies. This ensures unified protection across hardware, virtual, cloud-native, and container environments through a cloud-based management platform.
Semtech's Smart Connectivity Premium SIM card integrates multiple operator profiles to bypass permanent roaming restrictions, making it easier for an operator to expand their presence across different countries. The company handles the complexity of dealing with local authorities and making agreements with local partners to ensure everything runs smoothly in countries that are more complex to access.
Semtech aims to be the partner for charge point operators (CPOs) to overcome connectivity challenges, which Atayi identifies as the most critical parameter in their business. The company's goal is to be the foundation of the seamless charging experience, making EV charging infrastructure more dependable to encourage drivers to switch from internal combustion vehicles to electric ones. With Semtech's server redundancy and robust network operations center, business continuity is ensured, deploying necessary processes to anticipate and overcome failures, ensuring the charger always remains connected.
