Ambiq teams for smart ring design
Low power microcontroller designer Ambiq is working with Noise in India on a smart ring design.
The Luna Ring by Noise uses Ambiq’s Apollo3 Blue Plus systems-on-chip (SoC) to boost cognitive functioning by delivering across three core scores – Sleep, Readiness, and Activity.
Power consumption was a major design consideration by Noise for Luna Ring as they aimed to create a device that seamlessly integrates into users’ lives and helps enhance lifestyle by improving daily performance in a minimalist yet meaningful form factor.
The Luna Ring can track over 70 metrics with advanced sensors (PPG, skin temperature, and 3-axis accelerometer) and personalized nudges. The temperature sensor further tracks body variations influenced by diet and exercise. The wearable smart ring is 3mm wide and made of fighter-jet grade titanium featuring a diamond-like coating and pointing edge for guided wearing.

The Apollo3 Blue Plus is built on the proprietary Subthreshold Power-Optimized Technology (SPOT) platform with an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 for connectivity, turboSPOT for accelerated computing up to 96 MHz, and secureSPOT for additional security.
“People are empowered to monitor and advocate for their health more than ever before,” said Fumihide Esaka, Chairman and CEO at Ambiq. “The Luna Ring by Noise, enabled with Ambiq’s Apollo3 Blue Plus, demonstrates that smart wearable devices can be transformative while not compromising performance due to power constraints.”
“As a brand committed to demystifying technology for good, we have worked closely to integrate the industry’s best innovations in a minimalist yet meaningful design. Our inaugural smart ring, Luna Ring, embodies this commitment, offering a range of industry-leading features, including the Ambiq Apollo3 Blue Plus chipset. This transformative smart wearable will certainly empower users to unlock their full potential in wellness and performance,” said Amit Khatri, Co-Founder of Noise.
The $180 Luna Ring App offers tailor-made insights into daily activity performance without subscription. It comes in seven-ring sizes and five color options, including Stardust Silver, Lunar Black, and Midnight Black.
