Deals The $47 billion merger of Qualcomm and NXP Semiconductors will not only affect the automotive chip market; it should also have a significant impact in the Internet of Things business. The companies note they are together strong in microcontrollers, secure identification, mobile transactions, payment cards, transit, application processors, and connectivity systems. Meanwhile, NXP reported... » read more

Is Security All Talk?
By Ed Sperling - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Security is the No. 1 recurring theme at conferences these days. And given the explosion in the number of conferences this year—up to a half dozen some weeks just in Silicon Valley—that's a lot of attention being showered on security. At nearly all of these talks, there is at least a mention about recent breaches, pervasive and persistent risks, and the growing threat level. The topic of... » read more

Should Processing Take Place At End Nodes?
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Last week at ARM TechCon — which I found extremely interesting for the deep technical content — there was much discussion around where processing should happen in our connected world. (I’m really trying to stay away from the nebulous term, ‘IoT.’) Some believe the processing should happen at the edge nodes, while others believe it should all take place in the data center; I’ve ev... » read more

Qualcomm + NXP = IoT Powerhouse

Will 5G Enable Connected Cars?
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 1

As the telecom, automotive and semiconductor ecosystems rally to develop solutions for next-generation mobile networks for the connected car, 5G technology has emerged as a strong contender. Fifth-generation mobile networks will enable data transmission rates of more than 10Gps, connecting machines to machines, as well as everything else, including smartphones, IoT devices that require a... » read more

Dyn DDoS Attack Reboots IoT Security
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

In mid-October, cyber criminals targeted Internet infrastructure company Dyn with a “massive and sustained” DDoS attack that focused on the company’s DNS infrastructure. The cyber offensive disrupted access to a number of major sites including Twitter, Amazon, Tumblr, Reddit, Spotify and Netflix. Perhaps not surprisingly, the massive DDoS attack was conducted with the help of various hija... » read more

Five Automotive Megatrends
By Andrew Macleod - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

We see the term 'new mobility' becoming a catch-all for everything happening in connected, autonomous, electric vehicle development. It’s too broad a term to describe the future, we need to drill down a level. We have to look beyond automotive today, see where industry technology convergence is taking us, and identify the megatrends. Here at Mentor Automotive, we have identified five: Connect... » read more

Fingerprint Sensor Technology And Security Requirements
By David S. Hsu - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 0

Biometrics is a technology that uses a human’s biological features, such as facial characteristics, fingerprint patterns, retina, DNA or behaviors (voice and signature) to authenticate a person’s identification and authorize specific actions. Of all of them, fingerprint analysis technology is the most mature and has the widest acceptance. Several factors contribute to fingerprint technol... » read more

Healthcare IoT: Promise And Peril
By Gale Morrison - 03 Nov, 2016 - Comments: 1

By Gale Morrison & Ed Sperling As more connectivity and communication capability is built into everyday healthcare and medical devices, engineers are tasked with ensuring these devices are both completely secure and ultra-reliable. Reliability generally is measured in mean time between failure (MTBF), but when it comes to safety-critical markets, that equation takes on a whole new... » read more
