Synaptics Incorporated and Edgecore Networks, a subsidiary of Accton Technology, announced a strategic collaboration to develop scalable Edge AI and AIoT platforms. The partnership will showcase a next‑generation AIoT Edge Hub featuring Synaptics’ Astra SL1620 embedded IoT processor and Edgecore’s Veros SYN4612 triple‑combo wireless solution, which integrates Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, and Thread/Zigbee. The platform also incorporates Wi‑Fi HaLow for long‑range, low‑power connectivity and will be demonstrated at Synaptics’ private technology showcase during CES 2026, scheduled for January 6‑9, 2026.
The collaboration combines Synaptics’ advanced edge AI processing, multimodal sensing, and connectivity with Edgecore’s open‑networking expertise, including open‑source firmware and modular switch architecture. Together, the companies aim to deliver cloud‑connected AIoT deployments for property management, retail, and commercial spaces, positioning the joint solution against the growing demand for real‑time, low‑latency edge intelligence.
Synaptics’ core IoT product sales grew 53% year‑over‑year in fiscal 2025 and 74% in Q1 FY2026, underscoring the company’s momentum in the AI‑at‑the‑Edge segment. The partnership is expected to accelerate the revenue ramp for the Astra AI‑Native line, with initial commercial availability projected for the second half of 2026. While specific financial targets for the collaboration have not been disclosed, the joint effort is intended to capture a share of the projected edge‑AI market, which is forecast to reach nearly $90 billion by 2032.
The collaboration also signals a strategic shift toward open‑networking solutions that can scale with cloud‑edge architectures. By integrating Edgecore’s open‑switch platform with Synaptics’ AI‑centric processors, the joint platform can deliver higher throughput, lower latency, and greater interoperability for enterprise and industrial IoT deployments.
The announcement positions Synaptics and Edgecore to compete in a rapidly expanding market, with the edge‑AI sector projected to grow at a CAGR of 20–22% over the next decade. The partnership is expected to strengthen both companies’ competitive positioning and accelerate the adoption of edge intelligence across diverse verticals.
