EXTENDING AN ASSISTING ARM


Marvell, specialist in storage, processing, networking, security and connectivity solutions, intends to broaden its partnership with Arm, to the benefit of Marvell’s next- generation ThunderX server processor technology. The agreement sees that Arm dedicates support to Marvell’s R&D, promoting Marvell’s expansion of its Arm-based server products for the


improvement of cloud and data centre infrastructures. This builds on the company’s close collaboration, having already launched an alternative to the x86 computing market. Marvell’s Thunder X2, based on the Armv8-A architecture, proves as an effective example, with high performance levels, low power consumption and a reduced, total cost of ownership. “Marvell has demonstrated


innovative silicon and software technologies to deliver high-performance, Arm- based solutions across the

LIGHTS, CONNECTION, REVOLUTION THE GLOBAL LIFI CONGRESS 2019


s a result of the recent controversy surrounding Huawei, and the ethical questions it raises about the protection of data, security is firmly centred in the spotlight of this issue of Electronics. From an exclusive feature covering Lattice Semiconductor’s developments in safekeeping circuitry (p. 6), to NTT Security’s extended coverage of the WhatsApp breach (p. 24), it is important to keep code in check as connectivity begins to exceed our expectations. 5G looks to greet us at the door to the future: be sure to check your locks before you let the new wireless neighbour in.

aking place on 12 and 13 June at the Salons Hoche, close to the Arc de Triomphe, the conference looks to advertise, exemplify and certify LiFi as an up- and-coming technology worthy of the industry’s attention. Defining LiFi (an abbreviation of Light Fidelity), it is a


wireless communication technology based on the use of spectrum light. Specifically, it comprises of multiple LED light bulbs to form a wireless network, offering advantages such as the absence of electromagnetic interference, the density of data, and


increased speed due to the inherent velocity of light. The congress itself looks to uncover its possibilities. With more than 20 conferences covering the various shades of LiFi research, an exhibition space inhabited by more than 20 companies hoping to utilise this technology,


and a networking space designed to encourage LiFi’s ongoing application, the Global LiFi Congress will look to push the technology forward into the spotlight as we proceed into the next-generation.
