The hard part is not only building the prototype.

In defence technology, the harder question is often: will it still work reliably when conditions are unpredictable?

That was one of the themes behind the 6th closed Defence Tech Meetup in Riga, where Arturs Lalovs from LMT IoT spoke and attended last week.

The meetup brought together people from across the defence ecosystem - government, armed forces, researchers, companies, investors, and technology developers - to exchange ideas under Chatham House Rule and connect Latvia’s defence tech community with international partners.

For connected systems, this kind of conversation is essential. Low-power operation, resilient communication, secure data transfer, and deployment realities often decide whether an idea can move from a promising concept to something useful in the field. ⚙️

Thank you to the co-organisers UniLab Defence and Startup House Riga, to LMT Defence for supporting the event, and to Ritvars Vulis for moderating the discussion.

Building a connected product is rarely just about the device.

It is also about power, connectivity, cloud integration, firmware, data, and what happens after the prototype works once. That is where many good ideas start to slow down.

Next week, we’re coming to Hardware Pioneers Max to talk about exactly that. ⚡

If you’re working on hardware, sensors, Edge AI, or cellular IoT, come meet us at Stand E7.

Let’s talk about what it takes to turn strong connected product ideas into real deployments - faster, with fewer integration barriers.

See you at Hardware Pioneers in London!

What technology will have the most impact in the next 5 years? 🤔

At Deep Tech Atelier 2026 in Riga, organized by Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūra - LIAA, we asked researchers, engineers, founders, and technology experts to share their thoughts.

There was no one clear answer. The answers went in several directions:
satellites, AI, post-quantum computing, photonics, technology enablers, and stretchable electronics. And that might be the most interesting part.

The future is not being shaped by one breakthrough alone. It is being shaped by how different technologies connect, scale, and become useful in real-world environments.

Big thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts with us at Deep Tech Atelier!

So now we’re curious:
What technology do you think will have the most impact in the next 5 years? 🚀

he future of defence technology is not only about bigger systems or more data.

In many cases, it’s about building connected systems that can quietly operate for months or years with minimal maintenance. 🌍

Low-power cellular IoT is becoming an important part of that shift.

Remote monitoring devices, smart logistics systems, autonomous infrastructure, environmental sensors, and distributed field equipment all depend on one thing: reliable communication under real-world constraints.

That creates a very different engineering challenge:
• limited power availability
• intermittent connectivity
• harsh operating environments
• the need for secure, resilient data transfer

Technologies like LTE-M, NB-IoT, satellite fallback connectivity, and edge AI help make these systems more practical to deploy at scale while reducing unnecessary power consumption and network load.

This week, Arturs Lalovs from LMT IoT will be speaking at the 6th closed Defence Tech Meetup co-hosted by Defence and , bringing together defence companies, researchers, startups, and technology leaders from across the ecosystem.

Because in connected systems, the hardest part is often not the prototype - it’s building something that reliably works outside the lab.

Building an AI model is only part of the challenge.

For connected products, the harder part often comes next: reliable connectivity, power efficiency, remote management, and making sure everything actually works outside the lab. 🌍📡

That is why LMT IoT and Infineon Technologies are announcing a partnership to help accelerate connected edge AI product development.

The cooperation combines Infineon’s edge AI ecosystem, including Deepcraft™ software solutions, with LMT IoT’s IoT Shortcut connectivity platform - helping developers move faster from working AI models to deployable connected products in the field.

This matters especially for teams building industrial monitoring, predictive maintenance, smart agriculture, environmental sensing, asset tracking, and other low-power IoT solutions where edge processing and efficient connectivity need to work together.

The cooperation was marked during an event at the Embassy of the Republic of Latvia in Vienna, bringing together representatives from LMT IoT, Infineon Technologies AG, Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūra - LIAA, and members of the Latvian and European startup ecosystem. 🇱🇻🇦🇹

The partnership has already kicked off with a joint mentorship program focused on connected edge AI products.

What will matter more in future smart connected devices: intelligence or energy efficiency? 🤔📡

We took this question into the crowd at Deep Tech Atelier 2026, organized by the Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūra - LIAA.

We asked researchers, engineers, founders, and industry experts for their perspective - including voices from universities, IoT companies, and the wider deep tech ecosystem.

A common theme kept coming up: the future of connected devices will likely depend on balancing both.

As connected products become smaller, more mobile, and more autonomous, intelligence and efficiency are no longer separate conversations. They shape each other.

Big thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts with us at Deep Tech Atelier!

So now we’re curious:
What do you think will matter more over the next 5 years - smarter devices or more efficient ones?

18/05/2026

Most connected hardware projects don’t fail because of the idea.
They fail somewhere between the prototype and the real world.

That’s why LMT IoT and Infineon Technologies AG are launching a new mentorship program focused on low-power cellular Edge AI products. 🌍📡

The initiative has also drawn attention from Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūra - LIAA as part of broader Latvia-Austria collaboration efforts aimed at strengthening the startup and innovation ecosystem across Europe.

The program is designed for startups and product companies building connected devices - from industrial monitoring and predictive maintenance to smart agriculture, asset tracking, and environmental sensing.

Selected teams will receive:
- Free hardware
- Direct engineering support
- Technical mentorship sessions
- Cellular IoT infrastructure and connectivity guidance
- Help moving from prototype toward a working pilot

The goal is simple: reduce complexity and help teams bring connected products to market faster.

For many companies, the biggest challenge is not the idea itself - it’s integrating connectivity, hardware, firmware, and Edge AI into something that reliably works outside the lab.

Applications are now open: https://lmt-iot.com/mentorship-program/
Deadline: July 31, 2026

If you’re building the next generation of connected products, we’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Most connected products start with a small decision most people never see: the chip and the connectivity architecture behind them.

That’s why events like Riga Chip Summit 2026 matter. They bring together the people building the foundations behind connected devices - from semiconductors and embedded systems to connectivity, Edge AI, and real-world deployment. 🌍

Today, the LMT IoT team is here alongside startups, engineers, researchers, and industry leaders from across the Baltic and European tech ecosystem. We’re looking forward to the conversations throughout the day - especially around how AI is increasingly shaping hardware, connectivity, and product development. Interested to hear Jerzy Baratowicz from Infineon Technologies share their perspective in the session: “We use, enable and power AI to innovate faster for our customers.”

And later today, our Business Development Manager Arturs Lalovs will give his keynote: “Building low-power cellular IoT that works in the real world.”

The session will focus on the gap between prototypes and scalable products - and why power management, connectivity reliability, firmware updates, and deployment realities often define whether an IoT product succeeds long-term.
Today, LMT Group and the Latvian Chip Competence Centre (LCCC) officially signed a Memorandum of Cooperation at Riga Chip Summit 2026 - strengthening collaboration across the Baltic semiconductor ecosystem and supporting the path from research and ideas to real-world chip development.

We are co-organizing Riga Chip Summit 2026 together with Latvian Chip Competence Centre and partners. A big thank you to Jānis Sperga, Ņikita Kazakevičs, and everyone involved in bringing this initiative together and creating space for these conversations across the Baltic tech ecosystem.

If you’re attending Riga Chip Summit 2026, come say hello and join the conversation. 📡
