Technology and Market Analyst Photonics, Sensing and Display at Yolealso said: “An interesting feature of this new application is that it spreads through various systems: smartphones, smart speakers, smart watches, wireless earbuds, cars, smart TVs and their remot...
Solver technology enhances thermal simulation software
Release 14is the latest upgrade to Future Facilities 6SigmaET thermal simulation software. It includes significant modelling and optimisation enhancements, including the company’s ‘fastest ever’ CFD solver. The key focus of development for Release 14 was improvements in optimisation, allowing electronics engineers to balance thermal requirements with design constraints such as weight, size and cost.
Intel to reclaim number one semiconductor supplier ranking
IC Insights’ ‘November Update to the 2019 McClean Report’, released later this month, will include a discussion of the forecasted top-25 semiconductor suppliers in 2019 (the top-15 2019 semiconductor suppliers are covered in this research bulletin).
Active Stereo Vision system boosts 3D adoption
ams has introduced a new ASV technology product portfolio which enables manufacturers of consumer, computing and industrial products to implement face recognition and other 3D sensing applications more easily and at lower cost.
Semiconductors back to growth in 2020
The global semiconductor market is headed for the largest decline in 18 years. The market dropped 32% in 2001 when the Internet bubble burst. The 2019 decline should be around 15%, the third largest annual drop after 2001 and a 17% drop in 1985. The current weakness is largely due to excess memory capacity (DRAM and NAND flash) relative to demand.
Semiconductor acquisitions regain momentum in 2019
After slowing in the past couple years, semiconductor merger and acquisition activity strengthened in the first eight months of 2019 with the combined value of about 20 M&A agreement announcements reaching $28.0bn for the purchase of chip companies, business units, product lines, intellectual property (IP), and wafer fabs between January and the end of August.
Step toward delivering broad 5G on low-band spectrum
T-Mobile, Qualcomm Technologies, and Ericsson, have achieved the world’s first known low-band 5G data session on a commercial 5G modem. The data session was conducted in T-Mobile’s lab in Bellevue, Washington on 600MHz, the same spectrum T-Mobile is using to roll out broad, nationwide 5G in the US, marking a major milestone in delivering 5G across America beyond urban areas.
Successful 5G NR test opens way to LBS launch
In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully verified an A-GPS control-plane LPP test session over 5G NR using a device powered by the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and Qualcomm RF Front-end solutions.
Healthtech sees highest valuations in over five years
The first half of 2019 recorded an increase in healthtech M&A activity, with a healthy 100 deals inked (11% more than in 2H 2018) and around $8.3bn in disclosed transaction value throughout the period, reveals Hampleton Partners in its latest global Healthtech M&A Market Report.
Connecting devices to the Internet of Things
Some projections for the global Internet of Things (IoT) market are that it will grow to $457bn by 2020, up from $157bn in 2016 (Forbes, 2017). More recently, Microsoft announced that it will invest $5 billion in the IoT over the next four years (Microsoft IoT, 2018).
