Ambiq Micro, Inc. announced the Apollo510B wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) on August 26, 2025, expanding its Apollo5 family. Integrating a 48MHz network processor and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 radio, the Apollo510B delivers robust wireless connectivity for power-constrained edge AI applications, targeting wearables, smart glasses, and industrial automation.
The Apollo510B is built on Ambiq’s patented Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®), offering:
The Apollo510B targets always-on, intelligent devices with secureSPOT 3.0 and Arm TrustZone, ensuring secure boot, firmware updates, and data protection. Its design suits body-worn and ambient AI applications like smart glasses and remote patient monitoring, enabling real-time processing with minimal power. “The integration of a low-power Bluetooth® radio further extends the possibilities we can provide manufacturers,” said Scott Hanson, CTO at Ambiq.
Ambiq, a leader in ultra-low-power semiconductors, has shipped over 270M units by early 2025. The Apollo510B builds on the Apollo510, which won the 2024 Embedded World Best Hardware Award for its 30x energy efficiency gain. The SoC competes with offerings from Nordic Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics but stands out with its SPOT platform and BLE 5.4 integration, critical for the $20B edge AI market.
Ambiq, with a market cap of $670M, raised $110.4M in its July 2025 IPO. Analyst ratings include Needham’s “Buy” at $48 and UBS’s “Neutral” at $40, reflecting confidence in its edge AI leadership. The Apollo510B’s Fall 2025 availability positions Ambiq to capture growing demand in wearables and IoT.
The Apollo510B reinforces Ambiq’s dominance in ultra-low-power edge AI, combining advanced connectivity, security, and graphics to empower next-generation smart devices with unmatched efficiency.
Ambiq’s mission is to enable intelligence (artificial intelligence (AI) and beyond) everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. Ambiq enables its customers to deliver AI compute at the edge where power consumption challenges are the most severe. Ambiq’s technology innovations, built on the patented and proprietary sub-threshold power optimized technology (SPOT®), fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs. Ambiq has powered over 270 million devices to date.
