SEALSQ and L5 Cartronics Partner to Develop Secure Multi-Package IoT Modules for Smart Cameras and Smart Metering

Paris, France / Bangalore, India, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or the "Company"), a leading developer of semiconductor, PKI and provisioning technologies, and L5 Cartronics (LFC), a leading Indian electronics design and manufacturing company, today announced a strategic partnership to develop a new generation of highly competitive secure connectivity modules for IoT applications.

The collaboration combines L5 Cartronics' expertise in innovative precision Clocking, Power and Interface solutions, and large-scale production with SEALSQ's hardware security technology through the integration of a SEALSQ secure element die into LFC's advanced multi-package module architecture. This approach enables a highly integrated, cost-efficient solution designed for scale manufacturing. LFC's proprietary Active EMI management technology serves as a key element of compliance standards set by various bodies such as STQC for the joint solution.

A Secure and Cost-Optimized Module for the Next Generation of Connected Devices
The first outcome of the collaboration will be the development of a compact, cost-effective secure module designed for high-volume IoT deployments. The companies expect this module to support broad OEM adoption across security- and compliance-driven applications. By integrating SEALSQ's secure element die directly into LFC's multi-package solution, the companies aim to provide OEMs with a turnkey module that combines wireless connectivity and embedded hardware security without increasing system complexity.

The module will enable device manufacturers to securely provision cryptographic identities, authenticate devices, protect sensitive credentials and establish trusted communications with cloud platforms throughout the product lifecycle. This positions SEALSQ to participate in both initial hardware deployment and ongoing device lifecycle security management.

The initial focus will be on two rapidly growing markets, both benefiting from increasing regulatory requirements and rising cybersecurity standards, driving demand for embedded hardware security:

• Smart Camera systems requiring trusted device identities and secure cloud connectivity.
• Smart Metering infrastructure, where secure authentication, device integrity and lifecycle management are essential for utility deployments.

The solution has been designed to help manufacturers reduce bill-of-material costs while simplifying integration and accelerating product certification and time-to-market, key factors for large-scale IoT rollouts.

Fabien Treillaud, EMEA Sales Director at SEALSQ, commented: "Hardware security is becoming a fundamental requirement for connected devices. By embedding our secure element die into L5 Cartronics' innovative multi-package module, we are enabling OEMs to integrate strong security with minimal impact on cost, size and design complexity. This partnership will help bring highly competitive secure modules to market for applications such as smart cameras and smart metering, where trust and device identity are essential and strengthens our ability to address high-volume IoT opportunities with scalable, integrated solutions."

Narendar (Buddy) Venugopal, CEO and Founder of L5 Cartronics, added: "Our partnership with SEALSQ represents a powerful convergence of elite hardware security and cutting-edge silicon architecture. L5 Cartronics brings a deep portfolio of proprietary Active EMI management, alongside advanced precision Clocking, Power, and Interface solutions, to this collaboration. By combining our specialized IP with SEALSQ's proven secure element, we are delivering a highly integrated multi-chip package that solves critical system-level vulnerabilities right at the silicon layer."

Ranga Raj, VP of Business Development at L5 Cartronics, stated: "By targeting the high-growth Smart Camera and Smart Metering sectors, this joint Multi-Chip Package solution delivers massive architectural and cost benefits directly to our customers. It effectively bypasses complex design bottlenecks, giving Indian and global OEMs a streamlined path to compliance and faster time to market. Furthermore, by anchoring this collaboration in our scalable production ecosystem, we leverage a distinct 'Make in India' advantage, delivering sovereign, premium-tier silicon based security solutions engineered and manufactured to the highest international standards."
