Today, we are seeing 5G Open Radio Access Network (ORAN) change the landscape of cellular and mobile networks. Specifically, the opening, disaggregation, and virtualization of the RAN architecture is creating a paradigm shift in the mobile network infrastructure. Many functions of the traditional RAN network are being de-coupled between the hardware and software components. This decoupling of functions is bringing about flexibility and innovation to the network deployments as hardware and softwa...

In today’s highly competitive technology industry, being first to market can mean the difference between success or failure. However, getting to market fast comes with its challenges, particularly when it comes to system and application design. With the increasing proliferation of AI, Edge computing, cybersecurity threats, and automation, now more than ever, designers need the freedom to tweak and fine-tune their design’s throughout its development cycle. The components system archi...

Organizations face more cyberattacks today than ever before as cyber criminals and bad actors develop new ways to attack systems with each new software and hardware device deployed. In fact, a 2021 Cyber Resilient Organization Study found that 61% of respondents were forced to pay the ransom in a ransomware attack. This metric underscores the fact that being cybersecure is no longer enough, companies today must also be cyber resilient so they can quickly respond to and recover from attacks as th...

It’s no secret that Edge computing continues to experience rapid growth as enterprises seek lower latency, and more secure and private processing than centralized cloud datacenters can provide. Billions of Edge compute devices are being deployed in the market, and they’re only getting more advanced with time. Advancements in machine learning and deep neural networks have helped pave the way for this trend, enabling more intelligence to be processed at faster speeds than ever before....

“Enormous amounts of data are being generated every day by billions of connected sensors, devices, and systems supported by AI algorithms, creating an accelerated need for intelligence at the Edge. This trend requires developers and OEMs to look for more flexible and adaptable solutions.” Pat Moorhead, CEO and Chief Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy Companies today are challenged by a fast-evolving technology landscape, a seemingly insatiable hunger for more connectedness a...

As public cloud servers and edge computing systems proliferate throughout the datacenter landscape, the importance of security, power efficiency, and overall system performance grows. The rise of IoT and 5G connections demand immense processing capabilities and add pressure to servers like never before. And with quantum computing shaping up to come online by the end of the decade, system designers find themselves tasked with keeping up with these demands as securely and efficiently as possible. ...

Ahead of National Cybersecurity Awareness month in October, Lattice held its latest security seminar focusing on the evolving security landscape of 5G networks and ORAN. If you missed the live event, you can watch a recording of the “Reimagining Telecom Security Solutions for 5G Networks & ORAN with FPGAs” seminar here, or read on to explore some of the highlights. Centralized network security models of the past are becoming increasingly vulnerable as the rollout of 5G and ORAN c...

At this year’s Embedded World 2022, Lattice presented a keynote address by Steve Douglass, head of R&D, the importance of flexibility and adaptability in embedded system design – both at the software layer and the hardware layer – to keep pace with the major technology trends of today and tomorrow. This blog provides a high-level recap of the presentation. We are living in a time in our industry with some of the most profound changes in technology that are fundamentally re...

On-device AI inference capability is expected to reach 60% of all devices by 2024, according to ABI Research. This underscores the rapid speed of AI innovation to take place in the last few years that has required engineers to come up with flexible design models as they transition from the cloud to the edge. The trend is driven by advances in ultra-low latency, security, bandwidth limitations, and privacy. Lattice FPGAs and software solutions help enable acceleration of future models with exist...

5G is globally recognized as the technology standard for broadband networks, but what implications has the rapid adoption of 5G created in the global telecommunications market? With growing use-cases for 5G, Open RAN (ORAN) is now leveraged to enable faster innovation and greater flexibility. Spurred by the recent technological developments such as the virtualization of cellular networks and the advent of Software Defined Networks have proliferated the use of ORAN in 5G deployment, forever chang...
