Syntiant Corp., an Irvine-based company specializing in low-power edge AI, received the Tech Deal of the Year award at the 2025 Global Business Tech Awards for its acquisition of Knowles’ Consumer MEMS Microphones (CMM) division. This acquisition strengthens Syntiant’s AI-driven audio capabilities in consumer electronics, smart home devices, and industrial automation. By integrating high-performance MEMS microphones with AI processors, Syntiant is enhancing voice and sound recognition while advancing low-power, scalable, and adaptable audio solutions. Edge AI enables devices to process data locally rather than relying on cloud servers. This reduces delays, decreases internet dependency, and improves efficiency in devices like smart speakers, wearables, and industrial systems. CEO Kurt Busch and Greg Doll, SVP and GM of Syntiant’s sensors business, discuss the Knowles acquisition, its impact on AI-powered sensors, and the future of low-power edge AI in the first episode of "Edge AI Talks."
