Gallium nitride (GaN) is a promising material for RF/mmWave and power applications because of its ability to operate at higher voltages and frequencies than silicon while exhibiting lower losses. The integration of GaN technology with CMOS technology, especially if built using mainstream silicon CMOS tools and fabrication processes, could usher in inexpensive next-generation PC/mobile devices […]

Future connectivity: More than just 5G
At the 2021 (virtual) IEEE Microwave Symposium, the industry looked at where wireless is going and how it will get beyond 5G.
Five reasons why TSN over 5G promises timely deliveries
The Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) family of IEEE 802.1 network standards bring reliability and low latency to applications over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 5G.
Mobile fronthaul gateway solution accelerates 5G deployment
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. […]
