IoT enables direct-to-mobile emergency broadcast message from space
OQ Technology, a 5G-based satellite IoT operator, has made a direct-to-mobile emergency broadcast message from space. This was transmitted directly to standard smartphones, running both iPhone and Android. The test was via its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. And it represents Europe’s first direct-to-mobile emergency broadcast message without any hardware or software modifications, said the company. “This achievement marks ...
Choosing the right edge AI for an application
Distributors can play a key role in helping engineering teams discover and evaluate new solutions: from concept to production, says Alex Iuorio. The technology behind edge AI is not a simple plug-in upgrade. The applications that use edge AI (and there are few that can’t) are using it in their own way. Distributors understand these disruptions and the key applications ...
The CHIPs Act is a positive for talent pipeline
Fabless companies are benefitting from CHIPs Act funding, with its impact on the talent pipeline, Jim Guzzo of Impinji told Electronics Weekly. Guzzo, the investment in fabs and the development of fab technology is a driver for investment in STEM, science, technology and manufacturing, he said. The fabless, US company develops its own manufacturing processes. This is partly to protect ...
