February 13, 2019

CHANDLER, Ariz., February 12, 2019 — Embedded and automotive platform designers who are seeking Peripheral Component Interconnect Express® (PCIe®) 3.1 Low-Power Sub-State (LPSS) L1.1 and L1.2 for power savings now have new options available today from Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP). The LAN7430 Ethernet bridge provides integrated power, clocks and an Ethernet physical (PHY) interface while the LAN7431 provides Reduced Gigabit Media-Independent Interface (RGMII) for alternative PHYs and switches. The LPSS L1.1 (snooze) and L1.2 (off) enables designers to reduce power consumption and improve battery life by snoozing or turning off the high-speed circuits in the PHY … Read More → "PCIe 3.1 Ethernet Bridges Using Low-Power Sub-States Enable Power Savings for Embedded and Automotive Platforms"

Saelig Introduces R5500 Real-Time 8/18/27GHz Spectrum Analyzers

R5500 real-time spectrum analyzers have the performance of traditional lab-grade spectrum analyzers at much lower cost, size, weight and power consumption and canmonitor wireless signals in real-time for seeing intermittent and frequency-hopped signals.
February 13, 2019
Fairport, NY:  Saelig Company, Inc. announces the availability of the compact ThinkRF R5500 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer series – powerful, full-featured spectrum analyzers that have been designed to monitor and analyze wireless signals in real-time and not progressively scanned like most common spectrum analyzers. Real-time analysis is vital for being able to observe intermittent or frequency-hopped signals. The R5500 series comes in three models to cover 8, 18, or 27GHz signals. They offer all the standard features of a sophisticated, expensive bench-top spectrum analyzer, but at far lower cost since they employ the display and processing power of an attached PC. … Read More → "Saelig Introduces R5500 Real-Time 8/18/27GHz Spectrum Analyzers"

Industry’s First End-to-End LoRa® Security Solution Provides Secure Key Provisioning with Microchip and The Things Industries

CryptoAuthentication™ device and managed LoRa join servers enable developers to deploy secure connected applications on LoRaWAN™ networks
February 13, 2019

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, January 31, 2019 — As the LoRa® (Long Range) technology ecosystem accelerates, security remains an area for improvement in the market due to vulnerabilities that leave the network and application server keys accessible in the memory of modules and microcontrollers (MCUs) paired with a LoRaWAN™ stack. If keys are accessed in a LoRaWAN device, a hacker can impersonate it and authorize fraudulent transactions, which can result in a scalable attack with substantial losses in service revenue, recovery costs and brand equity.
