Power, price, security, and easy deployment could lead IoT companies to adopt iSIM over eSIM and plastic SIM cards.
Triple-radio and multiprotocol MCUs add application processors
The RW612 and K32W148 from NXP add processors to bring application processing on-chip, reducing complexity through fewer parts and using less board space in smart home devices.
iSIM puts carrier information deep inside a device
While eSIM moves carrier information from external cards to internal devices, iSIM moves the SIM down to the chipset. That reduces size and cost.
Wireless IP adds digital key capability to automotive ICs
CEVA, Inc. announced that its RivieraWaves ultra-wideband (UWB) IP has been extended with the RW-UWB-CCC MAC software package to support the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) Digital Key 3.0 specification. Already licensed to one of the largest players in the automotive semiconductor industry for their digital key product line, CEVA’s Digital Key 3.0 compliant UWB IP allows chip vendors…
How Open RAN provides a secure wireless network
Keeping Open RAN software secure means containerizing functions, securing each container, and securing the entire software design.
Test 5G automotive designs for cybersecurity
Test instrumentation can help bullet-proof your communication equipment designed for next-generation vehicles.
FPGA shrinks size and power
The Certus-NX FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor includes fast I/O and a hardened PCIe interface for connecting to local devices and to the outside world.
Speeds go up, security gets harder
Rambus recently introduced IP that adds a security stack to support 800 Gbps communications links. You might think, “what does speed have to do with security?” Speed does matter in security.
5G operators must improvise to improve security
As 5G grows, operators must act swiftly to word off bad actors, especially with COVID-19 adding stress to wired and wireless networks. Networks need digital twins and the industry needs a certification body.
