Altran has created an industry-first disaggregated fronthaul framework based on Intel field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that will enable wireless carriers and network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) to accelerate large-scale 5G fronthaul deployment in a scalable manner. The framework was demoed Oct. 22-24 at the Mobile World Congress Los Angeles. Altran’s Fronthaul Gateway software framework enables radio […]
DIY Artificial Intelligence
Machines are now faster and more accurate than humans at identifying information in images. Machines don’t get bored looking for flaws in widgets for hours at a time without a break. There’s been a lot of talk in the news about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will replace jobs. The industrial revolution displaced thousands of people […]
SSDs: secure erase or sanitize?
When you’re done with a data storage drive, it’s nice to make sure that all of the data is scrubbed from it. A drive that’s returned, repurposed, or discarded can have personal or confidential data on it. Discarded drives have been found with everything from financial and medical data, email, and even pornography on them. […]
SoC delivers data center processor architecture in 14nm
Designed to meet the high-performance requirements of a large variety of high-demand applications and services from the data center core to the edge, the new Intel Xeon D-21 processor brings the advanced intelligence of the Xeon Scalable processor architecture into an optimized, dense, lower-power system-on-a-chip (SoC) form factor for environments constrained by space and power. […]

Announced at Computex 2017, the Intel Core X-series processor family is the most powerful, scalable and accessible high-end desktop platform offered by Intel, designed to deliver the performance […]
Intel and Qualcomm collaborate to build 802.11ad ecosystem
Despite the fact that 802.11ad chips are expensive to manufacture, provide a very short range, and are not a recognized international standard, Intel and Qualcomm are still placing bets on the free and open 60 GHz band of 802.11ad. The two companies recently — and successfully — demonstrated multi-gigabit interoperability between their two respective 801.11ad […]
