o enable developers building artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sensor processing systems, Microchip Technology has released its PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge that works with the NVIDIA Holoscan sensor processing platform.
PolarFire FPGAs enable multi-protocol support, and this first solution to be released as part of Microchip’s platform is compatible with MIPI CSI-2-based sensors and the MIPI D-PHY physical layer. Future solutions will support a wide range of sensors with different interfaces, including SLVS-EC 2.0, 12G SDI, CoaXPress 2.0 and JESD204B. The platform allows designers to leverage the power of the NVIDIA Holoscan ecosystem while taking advantage of the PolarFire FPGA’s power-efficient technology with low-latency communication and multi- protocol sensor support.
NVIDIA Holoscan helps streamline the development and deployment of AI and high- performance computing (HPC) applications at the edge for real-time insights. It brings into a single platform the necessary hardware and software systems for low-latency sensor streaming and network connectivity. The platform includes optimised libraries for data processing, sample AI models for jump- starting AI inference pipeline development, template applications to facilitate rapid prototyping and core microservices to run streaming, imaging and other applications. With its ability to bridge real-time sensor data to NVIDIA Holoscan and the NVIDIA IGX and NVIDIA Jetson platforms for edge AI and robotics, the PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge is designed to unlock new edge-to-cloud applications, enable AI/ML inferencing and facilitate the adoption of AI
in the medical, industrial and automotive markets.
By utilising the low power consumption of Microchip’s PolarFire FPGA technology, the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge efficiently manages high- bandwidth data from diverse sensors over Ethernet, enabling real-time, high-performance edge AI processing on NVIDIA AI platforms. The power-efficient design is also conducive for small-footprint and energy- or cost-sensitive applications.
PolarFire FPGAs address security concerns in sensor applications by providing embedded security and safety features to help protect against potential cyber threats and provide physical, device, design and data integrity. They are additionally designed with single
Novocomms launches private 5G business to satisfy anticipated UK demand
N ovocomms, the UK
telecommunications business, has launched a new division – Novocomms Solutions – which is set to exploit the growing demand for private 5G solutions in the UK and beyond. Leveraging its impressive work in microwave and mmWave spectrums, Novocomms says that it is ideally positioned to open up the untapped potential of private 5G most notably in advanced manufacturing, medicine, defence, utilities and large venues such as concert venues or airports, which all
require secure, uninterrupted and high-quality wireless networking.
The Birmingham-headquartered business sees huge potential for this technology in the UK and Europe, a view echoed in a recent report from Nokia. The survey of 100 early Private 5G adopters found that 93 per cent of respondents had achieved an ROI within 12 months, with 45 per cent finding other uses for the technology once it had been deployed. Novocomms Solutions CEO Johann Tse said: “With the formation of Novocomms Solutions, we have created a unique private
5G systems integrator. While we have the track record within the telecoms space and the global network of trusted suppliers, we also possess a deep technical knowledge of RF and microwave systems to create innovative technologies.
“Private 5G is still in its infancy in the UK and we are well on the way to developing the next generation of technology that provides improved performance, while being reliable and affordable, compared to alternatives currently available.”
Despite huge strides in the adoption of
event upset (SEU) immunity, making them highly reliable in environments subject to radiation, such as space or high-altitude applications and medical environments. The SEU immunity also helps reduce the risk of data corruption and system failures.

private 5G networks, there are still technical performance issues that Novocomms believes can be overcome through more innovative design. The company says that problems concerning
interoperability, interference, latency and cost of deployment can all be overcome, or significantly reduced, via the development of ‘next generation’, low energy terminals and the roll-out of customised private 5G networks including 5GC, gNB, MEC, and UE.
