Now you can test Open RAN signals

There has been a lot of research around the world on what kind of delay the human brain perceives as natural or pleasant in different situations. The delay can be 20 milliseconds in the sensation of touch, less than 13 milliseconds in detecting visual stimuli, and less than half a millisecond in hearing sound. This means that in order to be truly immersive,

Thanks to DE-CIX's new connection point located in Equinix's data center, the "distance" between Finland and Frankfurt shrinks to less than 25 milliseconds. A data package travels to Oslo in 13.5 milliseconds, from there to Copenhagen 7.3 milliseconds and from Denmark to Hamburg 4.5 milliseconds. Next year, DECIX plans to open a new connection point to Stockholm, which will shorten the journey to the western neighbor to less than 10 milliseconds.

Tampere University, the University of Oulu, Aalto University and Nokia are planning to establish a joint Centre of Excellence that will focus on System Circuit Design. The project aims to strengthen Finnish expertise via cooperation between academic research and businesses. The centre would be part of the ongoing national ‘Chips from Finland’ programme. -> etn.fi/15011.

THE SMALLEST GPU TO RUN HDR VIDEO NATIVELY

Imagination Technologies is bringing seamless visual experiences to cost-sensitive consumer devices with the new IMG CXM GPU range which includes the smallest GPU to support HDR user interfaces natively. IMG CXM GPU range boasts nearly a 50% uplift in performance density compared to the IMG BXM range, opening up more performance in the same silicon area. -> etn.fi/15006.

OEMs

RUs infrastructure adopting the Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform can now use the SMW200A and SMM100A vector signal generators and FSW and FPS signal and spectrum analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz for testing.

Deploying 5G networks with infrastructure that meets modern demands comes with major challenges, as achieving the right balance between high capacity, low latency and cost efficiency becomes increasingly difficult. The Qualcomm QRU100 5G RAN Platform is a comprehensive modem-RF solution that aims to address these challenges, helping operators and OEMs enable flexible network deployments by delivering O-RAN-compliant 5G solutions. The platform features support ranging from mmWave to sub-6 GHz Massive MIMO with 64T64R capabilities to 4T4R Remote Radio Heads (RRH) to enhance coverage, improve cell-edge data speeds, as well as increase the overall network capacity. It is designed to enhance speed in the rollout of 5G networks with highperformance O-RAN compliant infrastructure products.

FIRST FULLY LEAD-FREE MEMORY MODULES

Apacer has created the world's first fully lead-free memory module. It not only exceeds the requirements of the current EU RoHS environmental protection standard, but also avoids relying on the RoHS 7(c)-I's lead exemption clause. The current memory modules on the market contain lead components in their resistor elements so they do not fully comply with RoHS. -> etn.fi/15002.

Waterproof Mems Pressure Sensor For Industrial Iot

STMicroelectronics has introduced the market’s first MEMS water/liquid-proof absolute pressure sensor with a declared 10-year longevity program for the industrial market. ST’s new ILPS28QSW sensor comes in a sealed, cylindrical, surface-mountable package. It features a ceramic substrate that provides high resistance to liquid permeability and a robust potting gel,
