Low-power long-distance image transmission A new breakthrough in the visual nerve of the Internet of Things. Great Mainlink June 29, 2026 Share with In the field of IoT video transmission, long-distance transmission and low power consumption have always been a pair of difficult-to-compromise contradictions - the farther the transmission distance, the higher the power consumption tends to be. However, this predicament is being broken. At the 2025 Shenzhen IOTE International Internet of Things Exhibition, the FishLINK wireless transmission solution showcased by DaYi Semiconductor attracted much attention. Inside and outside the crowded exhibition hall, visitors held cameras equipped with this solution and freely moved around, while the real-time images could be smoothly and stably transmitted back to the main screen at the booth. What was even more astonishing was that this solution had a transmission range of up to 100 kilometers, and the transmission power was only 23 dBm. This groundbreaking performance earned it the "IOTE Gold Award" of that year. Another technical path for long-distance image transmission comes from the deep transformation of traditional Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi SDR long-distance image transmission solution launched by Objectiq Microelectronics optimizes the transmission mechanism, innovates the networking architecture, and enhances the dual-frequency anti-interference capability, thus breaking through the distance limitations of traditional wireless technology. Even at an ultra-long distance of 10 kilometers, it can still maintain a stable communication bandwidth. In the field of low-power wide-area networks, LitePoint, in collaboration with Semtech, has launched the fourth-generation LoRa module, which has also broken the stereotype that LoRa was only suitable for low-speed data transmission. It achieves a maximum rate of 2.6 Mbps, which is sufficient to handle demanding IoT applications such as real-time image transmission. The value of low-power long-distance image transmission has been fully verified in specific scenarios. In smart fire protection and forest fire prevention scenarios, ultra-long-distance wireless image transmission makes it possible to conduct large-scale high-definition video surveillance and unmanned area monitoring; in geographic mapping and agricultural pest control fields, the image transmission solution helps operators obtain high-definition images without having to be on-site; in industrial endoscopy fields, the MR300C module connects the camera through the USB interface, encodes the video data into HTTP protocol streams, and users can view the images in real time through a browser, greatly simplifying the deployment process. From "You can't have both the fish and the bear" to "Low power consumption and long distance can be achieved simultaneously", the breakthroughs in IoT image transmission technology are reshaping the visual perception capabilities of various industries. With the continuous iteration of chip technology, communication protocols, and encoding algorithms, we can reasonably believe that lighter, more efficient, and more reliable image transmission solutions will accelerate their popularization, allowing the "visual nerve" of the IoT to reach even more remote areas.

Marvell Technology and Semtech Corp present contrasting opportunities in the semiconductor sector, with Marvell focusing on AI infrastructure and Semtech specialising in IoT connectivity. Marvell's fiscal 2026 revenue reached approximately $8.2 billion, a 42% increase year-over-year, whilst achieving net income of nearly $2.7 billion after reporting losses in the two prior fiscal years. The company maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 0.3x and generated close to $1.4 billion in free cash flow, though stock-based compensation represented about 34% of operating cash flow. Both companies face concentration risk, with Marvell's ten largest customers contributing nearly 82% of revenue and Semtech's top two accounting for approximately 25% of net sales. Marvell competes in high-performance cloud infrastructure, whilst Semtech targets IoT and 5G wireless networks.

SDVoE Alliance spotlights Semtech, Broadata and AVPro Edge demonstrations at InfoComm 2026. June 17, 2026 The SDVoE Alliance will showcase a series of technology demonstrations at InfoComm 2026 featuring solutions from Semtech, Broadata, and AVPro Edge. Hosted at booth C7074, the demonstrations will highlight how SDVoE technology supports a wide range of professional AV applications, including conference rooms, medical imaging environments, and esports production workflows. The alliance will also demonstrate SDVoE Orchestrator, a free software platform that simplifies the management, routing, configuration, and monitoring of SDVoE-enabled networks. The featured demonstrations will showcase the flexibility of 10G Ethernet infrastructure for delivering uncompressed, zero-latency video, USB connectivity, and advanced AV distribution. From Semtech's USB-over-video transport technology to Broadata's medical-grade fiber solutions and AVPro Edge's esports production workflow, the presentations emphasize SDVoE's ability to support modern AV and IT environments with interoperability, scalability, and high-performance networked AV transport. The SDVoE Alliance, a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, will present demonstrations at InfoComm 2026 from SDVoE Alliance members Semtech, Broadata and AVPro Edge. Hosted in the SDVoE Alliance booth, #C7074, the demonstrations will highlight applications for conference rooms, medical environments and esports production workflows. Additionally, the SDVoE Alliance will feature SDVoE Orchestrator, a free software application for managing, routing, configuring and monitoring SDVoE-enabled networks. SDVoE Orchestrator serves as a centralized management platform for SDVoE-enabled systems. Available as a free standalone application for Windows, SDVoE Orchestrator provides device status information and enables users to route, configure and monitor SDVoE endpoints across a network through an intuitive software interface. Semtech will demonstrate its new UEX chip, which enables USB 2.0 data transmission alongside high-quality video over a single connection. The demonstration will show how UEX technology simplifies conference room deployments by reducing cabling requirements while supporting video and USB connectivity across a unified infrastructure. Broadata will present SDVoE AV transport and fiber-based solutions designed for medical integration. The demonstration will feature a modular SDVoE rack-integration system supporting HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and legacy-format inputs over fiber, with real-time switching and distribution of 4K60 content at ultra-low latency. Broadata will also showcase a compact mini HDMI encoder and decoder capable of delivering 4K60 video with visually lossless compression and zero latency, including a point-to-point mode that eliminates the need for a separate HDMI extender. In addition, a direct fiber-input SDVoE-compatible medical monitor will demonstrate uncompressed real-time imaging without an external receiver for surgical and hybrid operating environments. AVPro Edge will present an esports-focused demonstration featuring the AC-MXNET-10G-TCVR transceiver, which can stream SDVoE and H.26x video from a single device. AVPro Edge's demonstration will highlight how SDVoE supports the image quality and zero latency required for competitive gaming while simultaneously delivering an H.26x stream to OBS software to simulate a live production workflow. Through AVPro Flow, the demonstration will showcase interoperability between open standards and hybrid MXnet deployments that combine 10G SDVoE and 1G H.26x endpoints. "The demonstrations from Semtech, Broadata and AVPro Edge showcase the flexibility of SDVoE technology across a range of professional AV applications," said Stephane Tremblay, president of the SDVoE Alliance. "Alongside SDVoE Orchestrator, these demonstrations show how the SDVoE ecosystem supports everything from conference room connectivity and medical imaging to esports production and live content workflows." The demonstrations support the SDVoE Alliance's Power of 10 initiative, which highlights how 10G Ethernet infrastructure enables zero-latency, uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 video, seamless multiview and video wall functionality, robust KVM, instantaneous switching and support for USB 2.0 alongside video on a single 10G infrastructure.
