Revolutionizing IoT

At Espressif, we are driven by innovation and the pursuit of groundbreaking solutions. Under Mr. Teo Swee-Ann's leadership, we achieved a significant breakthrough in the IoT industry when we integrated Radio Frequency (RF) capabilities with Microcontroller Units (MCU) in a single CMOS silicon chip. This integration paved the way for the creation of Espressif's revolutionary chipsets, which have become the gold standard for energy-efficient and cost-effective IoT solutions. ESP8266, announced in 2014, was the industry's first chip to integrate the entire radio, power amplifier, low noise amplifier, RF switches, power-management unit, baseband, and MCU. We continue to lead the IoT industry with innovative products, such as the revolutionary ESP32 with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, self-developed RISC-V architecture, additional AI instruction extensions, Wi-Fi 6, Thread, and Matter support. These pioneering achievements have propelled Espressif Systems to the forefront of the IoT industry, revolutionizing the way we connect and interact with the world around us.
