How do we connect billions of IoT devices without billions of batteries?

This challenge drives IoT-ZERO Horizon Europe SNS JU Project (Secure Event-Driven TN–NTN Connectivity and Sensing for Near-Zero-Energy IoT), Europe research initiative dedicated to shaping the future of sustainable, ultra-low-power connectivity.

Over the next three years, LMT is collaborating with international partners to rethink energy efficiency in IoT through dedicated research into:

• battery-less sensing and energy harvesting,
• ambient backscatter communications,
• ultra-low-power hardware and communication protocols,
• AI for energy-aware operation,
• and seamless integration with future 6G terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks.

Our goal extends beyond incremental energy savings - we aim to lay the foundation for 6G-ready, zero-energy connectivity, fundamentally transforming how devices capture data, communicate, and operate when power is severely constrained.

As an LMT IoT customer, Epona AI Labs is using LMT IoT Shortcut and Infineon Technologies AG edge AI to innovate predictive maintenance for train fleets 🚆

Instead of building complex backend infrastructure from scratch, they chose an integrated foundation to keep their engineering focus entirely on their core acoustic algorithms.

When asked why they chose IoT Shortcut, Alfredo Arreba, Co-founder and CEO of Epona AI Labs, explained:
"It’s a one-stop shop solution. Connectivity is key, and cloud capabilities are crucial for us... Having a turnkey solution saved us between 3 and 6 months of development, letting us focus on our core algorithms while LMT allowed us to have continuous connectivity anywhere, anytime."

A great example of how LMT IoT customers are innovating in predictive maintenance for train fleets with the help of connected technology.

See how Epona AI Labs uses Edge AI and LMT IoT Shortcut connectivity to detect potential rail faults and support continuous railway monitoring.

LMT takes a seat at the table shaping Europe’s 6G future. 🇪🇺📡

We are proud to announce that we have been selected for the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) Stakeholders Group. Alongside Orange and OTE Group of Companies (HTO), LMT is one of only three telecom operators appointed to this key 16-member European advisory body.

Together with global leaders like Airbus Defence and Space, Ericsson, Nokia, and ETSI, we will advise on the EU’s digital connectivity priorities, helping shape the 6G roadmap, technological autonomy, and the EU budget framework for 2028–2034.

Represented by Iveta Cīrule and Jānis Grēviņš, LMT brings real-world network operational insights and active R&D leadership – including key initiatives like Shield 6G (cyber-resilience) and IoT Zero (sustainable zero-energy IoT) – to the continent’s strategic agenda.

Latvia is ready to help pave the way for Europe’s next-generation digital infrastructure!

A connected device is never just a device with a network connection. 📡

Hardware, firmware, connectivity, cloud architecture, and device management all need to work together as a single system. That is why our colleagues at LMT IoT have launched a webinar series exploring the practical challenges behind connected product development.

The first two sessions are available to stream now:
🔸 Low-Power Cellular IoT: Why moving from a prototype to a reliable, field-ready product requires a full-system approach.
🔸 IoT Device Management: How to maintain visibility, manage device health, and scale securely after deployment.

The webinars bring together both business and technical perspectives from LMT IoT experts, with practical examples and platform demonstrations.

👉 Stream both sessions and stay tuned for future topics: https://lmt-iot.com/webinars/

On July 31st, Martins Kalkis, Head of Cybersecurity Development, will represent LMT Innovations at the LCCI (LTRK) Diplomats' Club - connecting Latvian enterprise with foreign embassies and economic attachés.

Few mobile operators sit where LMT does: securing a national telecom network while developing next-generation defence and 5G solutions within the EU's European Defence Fund ( ) and NATO frameworks. In today's security environment, that intersection matters more than ever.

We look forward to connecting with international diplomatic representatives and industry partners to drive new technology and cybersecurity collaborations forward!

🚀 Kick-starting the future of 6G and IoT technology!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of IoT-ZERO (Secure Event-Driven TN–NTN Connectivity and Sensing for Near-Zero-Energy IoT) – an ambitious European research project, and we are proud to be a part of it.

What are we working on together?
🔋 Next-generation, battery-free IoT nodes that draw power directly from environmental energy harvesting.

🛰️ Integrated terrestrial and satellite (TN–NTN) connectivity for secure, asynchronous data transmission.

🛠️ Maintenance-free IoT solutions designed to operate reliably for decades.

As we kick off this initiative alongside 10 partners across 8 European countries, we are setting out to lay a solid foundation for sustainable, energy-efficient future communication networks.

How do you accurately measure crowd dynamics at large-scale, open-air events without ticket sales? 📊

At this year’s Sarunu festivāls LAMPA, our LMT Mobility Data Analytics Platform was deployed for the first time to map and analyze human mobility patterns.

By leveraging privacy-compliant, anonymised big data, we unlocked high-precision insights – from overall attendance and dwell times to peak density hours and international visitor origin. This marks a major step forward in how data-driven mobility intelligence can optimize event infrastructure, urban planning, and crowd management on a global scale. 🌍

Great partnerships drive great innovations. 🤝

As part of the 5G4LIVES project, our Venture Department Director, Aigars Runčis, recently shared how LMT has evolved from a telecom operator into a fully-fledged technology company.

In this project, we are bringing "Telco to Techco" evolution to life in two major ways – as the technology provider of a 5G standalone network enabling autonomous drone operations, and as the provider of computer vision capabilities to solve public security use cases.
