Boasting 32 cores, the latest Kratos 3U VPX computing board is the hightest core-count Intel Xeon board available, says Concurrent. The SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) -compliant form factor increases performance compared to the original model, which has 20 cores. In addition to the 32-core (160W) Intel Xeon 6543P-B processor, suitable for data-intensive applications, the Kratos PIC (plug-in card) has ...
Omron is expanding its TM S Series of collaborative robots. There are three new models and an update to the TMflow Software for programming and managing the systems. TM S series The TM30S (pictured, above and right) is a 30kg payload model designed for heavy-duty collaborative tasks, for example, palletising and machine tending.

Fabless French FPGA company, NanoXplore has announced that its NG-Ultra FPGA, which is based on STMicroelectronics’ 28nm FD-SOI digital technology, is qualified for the ESCC 9030 for space missions. The radiation-hardened SoC FPGA combines a multi-core processor with programmable hardware on a single chip. It has been designed for low- and medium-earth orbit constellations and will be used in satellite ...
Raspberry Pi has been working with Sharp to develop the Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module: an adapter board for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 that is designed to deliver high-quality, low-power display experiences for professional signage applications. The Raspberry Pi Smart Display Module enables users in the audio-visual and digital signage markets to integrate the power, flexibility and energy efficiency ...
The broadband access equipment market is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 0.3% from 2025 to 2030, with total revenue peaking in 2028, driven by ongoing DOCSIS 4.0 and fibre expansion by cable and fibre ISPs, says Dell’Oro. The forecast has decreased from July 2025 due to a slower ramp in the deployment of 50Gbps PON technologies ...
NEC has developed a high-efficiency, compact PAM for the sub-6GHz band, designed for integration into 5G base station RUs. PAM power consumption accounts for approximately 75% of the total power consumed by an RU. By integrating this PAM into RUs, NEC aims to reduce device power consumption and size. NEC plans to incorporate this PAM into new RUs scheduled for ...
