Making 5G More Reliable
By Ed Sperling - 08 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

The rollout of 5G is a complex and monumental effort involving multiple separate systems that need to function flawlessly together in real-time, making it difficult to determine where problems might arise, or how and when to test for them. Investments in 5G have been underway for the better part of a decade, and the technology is considered the next huge growth opportunity for mobile devices... » read more

Improving Emergency Response in the Era of ADAS Vehicles in the Smart City
By Technical Paper Link - 24 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Management of emergency vehicles can be fostered within a Smart City, i.e. an urban environment in which many IoT devices are orchestrated by a distributed intelligence able to suggest to road users the best course of action in different traffic situations. By extending MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation Software), we design and test appropriate mitigation strategies when tr... » read more

Grappling With Smart City Security Issues
By John Koon - 02 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Security concerns are rising as cities seek to modernize services by connecting them to the internet and to each other, creating a widening attack surface that is a potential target for everything from disruption of services to ransomware demands. The goal of smart cities is to apply technology and intelligence to a variety of services to enable independent operation, real-time response, as ... » read more

Massive IoT Interop Fuels Protocol Battle
By Bryon Moyer - 15 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Wireless standards are plentiful, but most are not capable of being scaled to the level of a smart city. As a result, such networks have been built application-by-application using proprietary stacks, often with non-interoperable network layers. That, in turn, has slowed the proliferation of dense wireless connectivity at scale. “In a hyper-connected world, connectivity choices are driv... » read more

Big Changes Ahead For Connected Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Carmakers are reworking their electronic architectures so they can tap into a growing number of external services and internal options, similar to the way a data center taps into various services over its internal network. In the past, this has been largely confined to internal services such as on-board Internet connectivity, and external traffic routing and music. The current vision is to g... » read more

Hyperscaling Cyber-Physical Systems
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

As consumers, we are not always aware of all the data created around us by our cars, mobile devices, computers, and day-to-day consumer products. In most cases, we are even less aware of what's going on during the development and production of today's devices and systems that we have gotten so used to. During the most recent DATE 2021 conference, the special day on cyber-physical systems gave s... » read more

Bridging The Gap Between Smart Cities And Autonomous Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Smart city planners and carmakers are wrestling with similar problems and goals, but they are working at very different paces and often with different technologies — despite the fact that these two worlds will need to be bridged in order to be useful. Moving traffic optimally in urban areas is critical for reducing energy consumption and accidents, and for moving emergency vehicles through... » read more

Week In Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Mark LaPedus - 02 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers and OEMs NXP has announced the grand opening of its 150mm (6-inch) RF gallium nitride (GaN) fab in Chandler, Ariz. This is said to be the most advanced fab dedicated to 5G RF power amplifiers in the United States. NXP’s new Chandler-based GaN fab is qualified now, with initial products ramping in the market and expected to reach full capacity by the end of 2020. GaN, a III-V techn... » read more

Big Growth Areas: Connectivity, AI, Reliability
By Brian Bailey - 14 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

Connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI) will be the biggest drivers for 2020, with an emphasis on improved reliability across all areas. New standards, new applications, and new pressures being placed on old technology will created boundless opportunities for those ready to fill the need. Of course, there will also be a lot of carnage along the way, and we can expect to see a lot of that ... » read more

Manufacturing Printed Sensors
By Ed Sperling - 15 Aug, 2019 - Comments: 0

Vijaya Kayastha, lead device development engineer at Brewer Sciences, talks about the different approaches for different printed sensors, why each of those requires different skill levels for scaling up the process, and why this technology will be so important for industrial and IoT applications. » read more
