Embedded Computing Design

As cellular network operators are working to introduce and install advanced 5G, LTE and WiMax network equipment a particular design challenge is that high power c-band 5G systems are now operating around Satcom receivers that also carry critical business communications, television, weather, and other essential services.

Ericsson is enhancing its 5G capabilities with the launch of an end-to-end solution that will guarantee the consistent low latency and high reliability demanded by time-critical applications and services for consumers, enterprises, and public sector. 

Using energy responsibly is the essential factor for innovations in the field of energy efficiency towards a greener planet. Infineon Technologies AG is continuously investing and innovating in futureproof semiconductor technologies and solutions, enabling environmentally friendly applications as well as performance and ease of design.

IP vendors layers cloud-based virtual hardware emulator on top of reference IP to accelerate IoT application software development.

Nanoramic®, an energy storage and advanced materials company, announced it has received an investment from Fortistar, a privately-owned investment firm that provides capital to build, grow, and manage companies that address complex sustainability challenges. Nanoramic has raised over $75 million to date, a sum that will enable the company to further develop and commercialize Neocarbonix™, its nanocarbon electrode technology.

B-Secur announced that it has joined the STMicroelectronics Partner Program in a development that will help accelerate the time to market for manufacturers of next-generation consumer wearable devices.

NuCurrent announced that it has surpassed the NFC WLC specification for wireless power and data transfer in a product. The solution, which delivers 2.4x the power and 4x the data transfer rates of the NFC WLC Wireless Charging specification, is the result of a partnership between NuCurrent and WHOOP, the human performance company, through the company’s recently announced WHOOP 4.0, a 24/7 digital fitness and health coach, and the WHOOP Battery Pack 4.0.

From the lamp in your living room to unpleasantly bright headlights, LEDs are everywhere these days. So much so that we take them for granted, and the long, almost completely accidental road it took for them to reach a light socket near you.

The ioXt Alliance announced that 60 Android devices to date from Google, HMD Global, Lenovo, Motorola, TCL, Xiaomi, and Zebra Technologies are now certified through the ioXt Certification Program. These certifications were granted after meeting rigorous standards as part of the ioXt Alliance’s Android Profile, furthering efforts to improve the security of IoT and other connected devices running on one of the world’s most popular operating systems.

With support of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Rohde & Schwarz has validated 10 Gbps end-to-end (E2E) IP data performance using its R&S CMX500 5G radio communication tester platform. The setup was powered by Snapdragon® X65 5G Modem-RF System, the world’s first 3GPP Release 16 modem-RF system with Qualcomm® QTM545 mmWave Antenna Module.

Dell Technologies introduced new telecom software, solutions, and services to help communications service providers (CSPs) accelerate their open, cloud-native network deployments and create new revenue opportunities at the edge.

Infrastructure communication networks – 5G mobile, utilities, cable, transportation, defense and data centers – acquire and maintain signals for precise timing from Global Positioning System (GPS) or other worldwide satellite constellations. These networks require redundant backup systems when Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are unavailable.

Networked and connected home appliances enable both users and manufacturers to communicate with them via the internet. For example, the user of a kitchen oven might look up a new recipe online or a manufacturer might perform remote diagnostics or over-the-air firmware updates. Displays and touch sensors are essential for enabling this functionality in modern appliances.

Avnu Alliance® announced globally-scaled testing capabilities and a comprehensive update of its certification testing procedures at newly authorized commercial test houses. This advanced global certification program will streamline certification testing of devices with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities, including devices implementing the Milan™ network protocol (using TSN) for professional media, making testing easier and more convenient for Avnu members.

The mosaic-X5 and mosaic-H modules are being integrated into ArduSimple’s new evaluation kits, making resilient cm-level positioning accessible for testing and prototyping.

Gateworks announces a new 802.11ah HaLow Mini-PCIe radio for use on the Gateworks Rugged & Industrial SBCs.

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) seek to automate and transform their network and telco cloud infrastructure to capture new growth. This transformation is being driven by growth in user data demand, an increasingly complex network, a need to lower cost of operations, and new B2B revenue growth tied to 5G adoption.

iBASIS and Sequans Communications announced that iBASIS Global Access for Things™ is now available in its Monarch 2 GM02S NEKTAR development kit (EVK). Through the collaboration, Sequans’ customers will be able to immediately connect their devices and select mobile networks offering Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies leveraging iBASIS global reach.

The Allani antenna only requires clearances of 3.25mm beneath the antenna and 15mm from each side to perform well in the sub 1GHz bands – making it a useful choice for small designs using the 617-698MHz band.

As SiC technology becomes widely adopted to boost power-conversion efficiency, the STGAP2SiCSN simplifies design and enhances robustness and reliability in energy-conscious power systems, drives, and controls.
