There’s a shift happening now as network providers push for more flexibility…it’s called ORAN, open radio access network. ORAN enables service providers to mix and match equipment from different vendors. But, there’s a growing security threat in this open environment. That’s why Lattice Semiconductor created a software tool called the Lattice ORAN Solution Stack.
This ready-to-use software protects communication between board components through encryption and authentication across channels; effectively “securing the wire” in the inherently open ORAN functionality.
Chief strategy and marketing officer for Lattice Semiconductor, Esam Elashmawi joins us on Inspiring Minds. He’s going to help us understand how this innovation creates not only improved security, but also the long-term impact of reliability and power efficiency throughout the telecommunications market.
On the podcast today…We’re talking smart glasses…with OPPO Air Glass. Think about pulling out your phone or checking your smart watch for updates. This device puts the information right in front of your eye. Chris Vick is here to talk about the future of wearables.
Congratulations to Intelfuse for winning an Edison Award in the Critical Infrastructure category.
Founded by Nigel Barry, Jeff Filip and Stacie Grassano-Rupenthal, Intelfuse is reimagining and digitizing the critical infrastructure and vegetation space. Using their datafuse3D technology, Intelfuse creates digital models of power line routes and surrounding areas, including topography, vegetation and wildlife habitats. They have also made it easier to conduct environmental assessments, identify impacted areas and visualize routes for developers, allowing them to address concerns and mitigate issues quickly and efficiently.
Overall, Intelfuse is streamlining the permitting process for new transmission power lines with its cutting-edge datafuse3D technology. By providing accurate and detailed information, they are enabling faster approvals.
Intelfuse is part of 35 Mules, the first in-house innovation hub powered by a global energy leader, NextEra Energy. The program offers access to Fortune 200 subject matter experts, leadership and entrepreneurial coaching, a rent-free workspace in Juno Beach, FL and more.
