Semtech Acquires Narrowband Powerline Communications Assets of EnVerv

Semtech, a supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, announced that they are acquiring the assets of EnVerv, a privately-held supplier of narrowband powerline communications (PLC) semiconductor technology.

EnVerv had three investment rounds totaled $33.4M, starting in June 2010. Semtech did not reveal the purchase price of EnVerv's assets.

Announced in Dec-2012, EnVerv's PLC technology implements several narrowband PLC standards:


Semtech says that EnVerv's PLC technology is complementary to Semtech's LoRa; a long range, low power, wireless technology working in the 860-1000 MHz band.

Given that Semtech only purchased EnVerv's assets, one can assume that they got a good price and a lot of the original investors $33.4M went up in smoke.
