Top 10 IoT Chips to Watch in 2025: Powering the Future of Connected Devices

-

In the fast-moving world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the choice of hardware can make or break a product. The chip at the heart of your device determines not only its performance and efficiency but also how well it adapts to emerging standards and user expectations.

In 2025, the IoT chip market is more competitive than ever. From ultra-low-power wearables to high-performance industrial controllers, manufacturers are racing to integrate advanced connectivity, robust security, and AI capabilities — all while keeping energy consumption in check.

Here’s a detailed look at the Top 10 IoT chips of 2025 and why they matter.

Miraikan: The Future Is Here

-
Image
The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, simply known as the Miraikan, is a museum created by Japan's Science and Technology Agency. It was opened in 2001. It is situated in a purpose-built building in the Odaiba District of Tokyo. In the video, I am visiting Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. I explore various exhibits spread across multiple floors of the museum, focusing on emerging technologies and scientific innovations. The first floor introduces the museum, showing a ticket purchase and an overview of the building. I take an escalator to the next floor where I check descriptions of the different floors and their themes. I am excited about the exhibits and mention a gift shop. The second floor is described as a special floor not accessible to the public, while the third floor features a kids' zone and information stands. I explore the "Create Your Future" exhibit, which focuses on envisioning a prosper...

How Smart Grids & IoT Are Powering a New Era of Energy Efficiency ⚡🌍

-
Image
As the world faces unprecedented climate challenges and surging energy demands, the way we generate, distribute, and consume electricity is undergoing a profound transformation. At the center of this revolution? The fusion of smart grids and the Internet of Things (IoT) — a pairing that’s set to make our energy systems smarter, greener, and more resilient than ever before. What Is a Smart Grid? A  smart grid  is an electricity network that leverages sensors, communication links, and automation to enable two-way communication between utilities and consumers. Instead of the old, one-way flow of electricity and information, smart grids are dynamic and interactive. IoT devices — like smart meters, grid sensors, and intelligent controllers — form the backbone of this architecture. They constantly monitor the grid, provide real-time feedback, and automate decisions that once required manual intervention. Electricity production remains one of the largest sources of global greenhouse ...

Zigbee vs. Z-Wave: Which Mesh Protocol Wins in Smart IoT?

-
Image
When it comes to building a reliable smart home or IoT network, Zigbee and Z-Wave are two names you can't avoid. Both offer mesh networking. Both prioritize low power consumption. Both promise simple device-to-device communication. But which one is better for your needs? Let's break it down clearly. 1. Frequency Band Zigbee: Operates mainly at 2.4 GHz (globally) but can use sub-GHz in some regions. Z-Wave: Works at sub-GHz frequencies (around 800-900 MHz depending on the region). Impact: Z-Wave’s lower frequency means less interference (since Wi-Fi and Bluetooth crowd 2.4 GHz). Zigbee's 2.4 GHz can face more noise but offers higher data rates. 2. Device Ecosystem Zigbee: Huge ecosystem. Brands like Philips Hue, Amazon Echo, and Samsung SmartThings rely on it. Z-Wave: Smaller, but highly curated ecosystem with strict interoperability standards. Impact: Zigbee offers more choices, but sometimes devices from different vendors don't play perfectly together. Z-Wave has...
