NEW DELHI & CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 17, 2025--
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a high-performance semiconductor, Internet of Things (IoT) systems and cloud connectivity service provider, announced that Rémi Demerlé, marketing director of Semtech's LoRa® ecosystem, will deliver a keynote address at the 9th IEC-IEEE-BIS Smart Energy Standardization Coordination Workshop during India Smart Utility Week (ISUW) 2025. The session, “Emerging Smart Energy Technologies and Standardization Landscape,” will take place on March 18, 2025, in New Delhi, India.

Demerlé’s presentation will focus on how LoRaWAN technology is revolutionizing smart metering deployments worldwide through low power, long-range connectivity solutions that enhance reliability, efficiency and sustainability across utility distribution networks.
“As utilities worldwide face mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while integrating distributed energy resources, LoRaWAN provides the critical communication backbone that enables real-time monitoring and control across vast networks,” said Demerlé. “The IEC standard profile for smart metering (IEC 62056-8-12:2023), which evolved from our sustained five-year collaboration between the LoRa Alliance and DLMS User Association, has established a critical technical foundation that enables rapid deployment of interoperable smart metering networks. These implementations minimize packet loss even in challenging RF environments while maximizing coverage and ensuring low capex—fundamentally transforming utility efficiency and operational economics.”
The IEC-IEEE-BIS workshop serves as a pivotal platform for harmonizing international standards critical for the advancement of smart energy systems, especially in India where the government’s National Smart Grid Mission is overseeing the deployment of 250 million smart electricity meters. Previous editions have directly influenced the development of BIS standards and accelerated the adoption of IEC, IEEE and ISO standards across India’s rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Semtech's participation underscores the company’s commitment to driving innovation in IoT connectivity solutions purpose-built for utility applications. The LoRaWAN protocol’s proven capabilities in enabling secure, reliable connectivity for millions of sensors across challenging environments make it ideally suited for smart grid applications where performance and resilience are paramount.

SHANGHAI (AP) — Here is a guide that tells you everything you need to know about Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix — the second race in the 2025 Formula 1 series.
— In the U.S., ESPN.
— Other countries are listed here.
— March 21: First practice and qualifying for the sprint race.
— March 22: Sprint race and qualifying for the Grand Prix.
— March 23: The Chinese Grand Prix.
The 5.45-kilometer (3.39-mile) Shanghai International Circuit is a purpose-built racetrack which first hosted F1 in 2004. Its layout resembles the Chinese character “shang” — the first part of the name of the city of Shanghai. Max Verstappen took a commanding win there last season ahead of Lando Norris, but teams have little recent experience of a track which didn't host F1 from 2020 through 2023 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Saturday's sprint race is the first of six this season.
Norris won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix for McLaren after surviving a slide off track in the rain and a late challenge from second-place Verstappen. George Russell was third for Mercedes. Norris' teammate and potential title rival Oscar Piastri span off the road and recovered to finish ninth after a late overtake on Lewis Hamilton, who was 10th in a frustrating debut for Ferrari.

3 — Only three current drivers have won in China. Verstappen won last year and Hamilton won six times for McLaren and Mercedes from 2008 to 2019. Fernando Alonso, now at Aston Martin, won for Renault in 2005 and Ferrari in 2013.
63 — Verstappen led the driver standings for 63 races over nearly three years. Now Norris leads after his win in Australia. The last driver other than Verstappen to be standings leader was Charles Leclerc in 2022.
18 — Andrea Kimi Antonelli's age when he became the second-youngest driver in F1 history to score points in Australia on his debut.
“I’m confident that when we go to China next weekend, we can be very strong because we were strong there last year with not a very good car.” — Norris
"It was fun those last laps... I’m just very happy to bring it home, score good points. This is, let’s say, a decent starting point for us." — Verstappen
“I struggled with the balance, but it was an important race for learning more about the car and in different weather conditions, as well as gaining more experience working with a new team.” — Hamilton
