各位半导体先驱者们，大家好！
On the occasion of Silicon Catalyst’s 2025 Portfolio Company Update, which brought together semiconductor startups at the Computer History Museum, SPARK Microsystems was honored to share its perspective.
SPARK joined the Silicon Catalyst incubator program in 2017. Today, SPARK’s innovation is reverberating throughout the semiconductor industry and the diverse industries served by our valued customers in consumer electronics, industrial and IoT, medical devices and beyond.
SPARK specializes in short-range wireless transceivers leveraging ultra-wideband (UWB) connectivity. SPARK LE-UWB™ technology provides high data rate and very low latency wireless links at an ultra-low power profile, making it ideal for personal area networks (PANs) in the new era of AI and AR mobile connected devices.
Silicon Catalyst has been an important advocate for SPARK. SPARK is likewise a passionate advocate for our customers, partners, and peers striving to elevate the state of the art.
对于半导体初创公司而言，挑战犹如千斤重担压在肩上。半导体是人类已知最精密的器件，设计和制造都绝非易事。应对瞬息万变的经济和供应链也绝非易事。唯有韧性、适应能力、稳健的方向和财务纪律才能助您渡过难关。
当你成功时，你就能促成变革性的改变。
SPARK LE-UWB technology is helping our customers transform the markets they lead in by helping them transcend the performance and power confines of legacy short-range wireless platforms like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Drawing on SPARK’s design expertise and commitment to excellence, our customers are achieving ‘world first’ breakthroughs.
Sonus faber, the prestigious Hi-Fi audio pioneers, sought a wireless link to pair their latest high-performance stereo 扬声器, free from the data rate, latency, and interference limitations of legacy wireless. They found SPARK LE-UWB and later introduced the 全球首款采用超宽带技术的消费级音频设备 技术方面，法国著名音频品牌 Focal 推出了其新产品。 SPARK LE-UWB-enabled speaker system 同时推向市场。
More recently, SPARK announced collaborations with gaming peripheral experts 怀佐尔 和 电力公司. Both are leading in their market with their respective announcements of the world’s first gaming mice equipped with SPARK LE-UWB as the sole wireless connectivity option.
SPARK’s recent solution 与 TokenMe 合作 has been successfully deployed at Denmark’s New Odense University Hospital, where it manages real-time tracking of tasks, assets, and personnel across a 250,000 square meter, multi-level construction site. SPARK LE-UWB enables precise positioning and reliability in real-time monitoring – essential for ensuring safety and efficiency in large-scale construction.
TokenMe的成功 这项实现本身就令人印象深刻。这是全球首个在建筑工地部署超低功耗UWB技术的案例。它也预示着未来将有更大的创新出现。
SPARK LE-UWB’s ultra-low power profile is on a trajectory to help enable a new generation of battery-less wireless sensors that generate their own power from energy harvesting for greener IoT and infrastructure. Eliminating batteries and wires from future devices will liberate product designers and users in untold ways, with major environmental benefits.
Nick Kepler, COO, Silicon Catalyst, graciously provided this perspective: “SPARK anticipated the inherent limitations of legacy connectivity with data-intensive, power-hungry devices like AI glasses still on the horizon. Today, SPARK’s LE-UWB technology fits readily at scale in this domain and many others, from wirelessly connected healthcare and industrial devices to robotics, ranging applications and beyond.”
Guests of Silicon Catalyst – friends of SPARK – above all, you want your customers to succeed with your technology and thrive in a competitive marketplace. Their success is the best measure of your success, and both will benefit from close collaboration.
The SPARK Team wishes you great success.
