Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Top Internet-of-Things Innovators
Las Vegas, NV., Jan. 8, 2026 – InnoPhase IoT, Inc., a leading wireless semiconductor platform company focused on elevating the IoT user experience based on ultra-low power Wi-Fi, today announced that the Talaria 6 Family of SoCs won the “IoT Semiconductor Product of the Year” award conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market today.
InnoPhase IoT’s Talaria 6 platform, built around the INP6120 and INP6220 system-on-chips (SoCs), delivers a cohesive, ultra-low-power, multi-protocol, multi-band, and secure platform designed for next-generation connected devices. At the core of Talaria 6 is a digital CMOS RF architecture for ultra-low power Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, significantly extending battery life. This feature enables always-on devices, such as smart locks, industrial sensors, medical wearables, and more, to operate longer without compromising performance or reliability.
The INP6120 supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6, enabling long-range and low-power use cases for critical coverage and penetration. The INP6220 adds dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi 6, delivering higher throughput and reliable connectivity in dense environments such as smart buildings or video applications. Both SoCs are Wi-Fi 7-ready and are engineered with hardware architectures that anticipate next-generation features such as multi-link operation.
Beyond Wi-Fi, Talaria 6 integrates Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Classic, Thread, and Zigbee within a single SoC. This multi-protocol flexibility enables seamless interoperability across major ecosystems, including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and more. Built-in Matter compliance simplifies design complexity, lowers bill-of-materials costs, and accelerates time-to-market for scalable IoT solutions.
“Most IoT semiconductor products only deliver incremental improvements and rarely address challenges such as power efficiency, interoperability, connectivity flexibility, advanced security, and future-proof scalability,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, IoT Breakthrough. “InnoPhase IoT’s Talaria 6 Platform fundamentally solves the challenges that limit IoT adoption. By eliminating the tradeoff between wireless performance and power consumption, Talaria 6 unlocks new possibilities for IoT deployments where both longevity and responsiveness are essential.”
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis of the global Internet-of-Things industry and recognize the breakthrough innovators, leaders, and visionaries driving progress in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, IoT Security, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Vehicles, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations.
“The Talaria 6 SoCs were designed to address urgent pain points facing IoT device makers today while preparing them for tomorrow. The platform offers not just an incremental improvement but a foundation for building secure, intelligent, interoperable, and future-proof IoT devices across smart home, industrial, healthcare, and enterprise markets,” said Dr. Yang Xu, Founder and CEO of InnoPhase IoT. “We’ll continue to deliver products that empower IoT device makers to remain competitive and standards-compliant as Wi-Fi 7 IoT devices become mainstream, protecting their investment in future products.”
Lastly, the Talaria 6 incorporates hardware-based encryption, secure boot, and PSA Level 2 certification to ensure device integrity and resilience against evolving cyberthreats. Combined with an integrated ARM Cortex-M33 MCU, the platform supports edge AI, allowing devices to analyze data locally, reduce latency, and operate independently of the cloud. This supports real-time applications like predictive maintenance, smart sensing, intelligent automation, and more.
The Talaria 6 Platform and associated hardware reference kits, EVKs and solutions come with all the necessary certifications and are available through our network of worldwide distribution partners. To learn more about the Talaria 6 SoCs, visit www.innophaseiot.com or contact .
