LYNwave introduces smart antenna solution
Multimedia streaming and IOT connectivity demands are increasing rapidly; therefore, wireless throughput and quality of service are extremely important for user experience. In order to achieve high quality wireless performance for multiple clients within an interference environment, a better wireless radio frequency control technology is needed, as well as a better wireless beacon frame steering management method.iFast technology includes multiple module antennas which provide specific radiation patterns and an advanced integrated technology with several management and control module blocks at firmware level. iFast algorithm is based on the analysis of huge field test data measured from real environment with client signal, radio conditions ,package status, etc. This intelligent method can choose the most suitable antenna pattern from signal and interference aspect to increase SNR (Signal to noise ratio) for better wireless performance. Its continual learning from the real environment make it to be best fit for complex and rapid changing environment.In iFast hardware architecture, each antenna unit is composed of an omnidirectional antenna element and several directional elements. The radiation pattern can be changed by controlling different reflectors. When the antenna is set to omnidirectional mode, as shown in Fig. 1, it can provide transmit or receive equally well in all directions similar to external dipole antenna. When the antenna is set to directional mode, as shown in Fig. 2, it can provide high directional antenna gain, high front-to-back ratio, which can provide better signal quality and coverage, and also avoid interference in the same time.Phi/Degree vs. dBFigure 1: Omnidirectional antenna patternFigure 2: Combine directional antenna patterniFast technology provides a unique automatic adjustment smart antenna technology, it can greatly improve the signal strength and coverage, increasing the throughput and wireless capacity. It offers benefits to 802.11a / b / g / n and 11ac Wave 2 MIMO devices, and enhances MIMO diversity gain and the possibility of frequency reuse.LYNwave is providing iFast technology at booth A0307 in World Trade Center Hall 1 Computex Taipei 2016.

MediaTek leverages mobile advantages to become technology enabler for IoT
The rapid developments of IoT (Internet of Things) have brought new opportunities for silicon vendors. As a leading provider of mobile and TV chipsets, MediaTek has been putting lots of efforts in deploying IoT market over the past years, aiming to leverage its advantages in smartphone market to make inroads into the emerging applications."We have made significant progresses with several customers launching end products to the market," JC Hsu, corporate vice president and general manager of IoT Business Development at MediaTek, said. "We will keep building comprehensive IoT solutions and drive the industry moving forwards as a technology enabler."Bring Mobile Advantages into Full PlayHsu explained that IoT is a natural evolution from mobile Internet technology, along with the availability of telecommunication infrastructure. For a wide range of consumer IoT devices, low-power, connectivity, and multimedia are the key features, and these are the areas that MediaTek excels at."In terms of power consumption, IoT devices require more compact area but perhaps only one fifth of power budget. Similarly, connectivity includes cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other standard, thus we need to consider higher integration and interference issues in a smaller area. All these will be the critical factors for chip vendors to stand out from the competitive market.""In addition, quality multimedia and camera functions are also essential. With our strengths in the TV, DVD, and mobile phone market, we are fully confident that we will be able to embrace new opportunities."However, there are still plenty of challenges to be solved in the market. "IoT market is characterized by full diversity, small volume, multiple standards, security, and service-oriented vertical applications. Because of different functionality, specifications, and services, the turnkey solutions that used to be successful in mobile phone market can no longer fit. It challenges not only device makers' design and manufacturing ability, but also chip vendors' to provide total solutions."Providing Solutions to Lower Design BarriersIn order to embrace market trends, according to Hsu, MediaTek is the members of GSMA, 3GPP, OIC (Open Interconnect Consortium), working with leading companies to participate in standardization process. Moreover, MediaTek's products are designed to support JD Cloud, Aliyun, OIC, and Apple Home Kit standards, as well as software and hardware development kits, in a bid to meet various product requirements.Strategically, MediaTek will mainly focus on consumer market, where the company already has solid customer bases, and then expand to other applications, including industrial and automobile.There are already some customers adopting MediaTek's MT2502 and MT2601 to develop a wide range of wearables, such as smartwatches, fitness bands, kid shoes, and bike computers. In addition, early this year, the company announced MT2511, its first bio-sensing analog front-end chip designed for health and fitness devices, to enable bio signal acquisition through electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) simultaneously. Another new product is MT7697, which delivers low energy Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi for smart home and home automation products.On the other hand, MediaTek endeavors to provide comprehensive hardware and software solutions and easy-to-use development platforms to help customer lower entry barrier and shorten time to market. At the same time, the company also actively builds an ecosystem, forming partnership with companies across different industries.For example, by establishing MediaTek Labs, MediaTek tries to help developers and start-ups to quickly move from concept designs to mass production. With the market featured with small-volume but large-variety, it is difficult for developers and start-ups, which have very limited resources, to find manufacturing partners. "We hope to play a role between them and to fulfill both of their demands, so that these companies will be able to shorten time to market and get success."Furthermore, MediaTek has actively sponsored several innovation competitions and cultivation programs in Taiwan and China to explore new innovative products and foster talents."Among them, Tinitell, a Sweden-based start-up, adopted our solutions to develop a wearable mobile phone for kids. By integrating 2G and GPS functions, the product can not only help parents track the locations of kids, but also talk to them directly. It was us that help Tinitell find a suitable manufacturer in China. This is a perfect example of how MediaTek Labs supports star-ups to launch products on market, because we believe that our success relies on customers' success", Hsu saidInnovation + Cross Cooperation to Shape New LandscapeAs for industrial applications, Chunghwa Precision Test Technology Company (CHPT), a subsidiary of Chunghwa Telecom, adopted MediaTek's solution to develop data acquisition equipment, heading to embrace the Industry 4.0 trend. Also, the smart remote control devices developed by China's BroadLink can be used to control home appliances through mobile apps, the first step to realize the smart home vision, and the products has been moved into mass production this year. These are some of the successful stories that MediaTek has achieved to diversify its customer base in IoT market recently.In terms of automobile applications, according to Hsu, by combining cellular and GPS technologies, various connected car applications, such as fleet management and asset tracking, are increasingly popular, and this is the area that MediaTek can play an important role.He emphasized that the success of IoT relied on the combination of business models, hardware devices, and applications. Because devices are of no fixed functions, it is very important for device makers to understand the requirements of end applications and to seek for cross-industry cooperation opportunities. For example, in-car OBD (on-board diagnosis) devices can be used to collect related driving information for the analysis of drivers' behavior. The device can have more add-on values if they are provided to insurers, so that they can design insurance policies with more flexibility based on customers' driving patterns. This is an example to show why the design concept of IoT devices can not only be purely hardware, because their true value lies in effective business models, and needs to leverage through cross-cooperation.Many of MediaTek's design-win cases in wearables and smart home markets are from China. Hsu said, "With rich resources and a great deal of companies, it is true that they are moving quickly to grab the business opportunities. For Taiwan, I think the industry should make more efforts to enhance its speed and flexibility to make inroads into IoT. In order to achieve more concrete results, we need to keep driving innovation and cross-industry cooperation. We find that many of Taiwanese companies begin to be active in the market. It's a great sign. Under the mega IoT trend, we do hope to team up with more companies to reshape the future landscape."

Conexant's AudioSmart technology enables natural workplace collaboration, informed interactions with intelligent personal assistants
Audio and imaging innovation leader Conexant Systems, Inc. is on hand this week at Computex 2016 to highlight their AudioSmart 3.0 product line. These highly-efficient, powerful silicon and software solutions redefine the audio experience for a range of consumer electronics - including tablets and PCs. Today, Conexant is showcasing the world's first PC to receive Microsoft Skype for Business certification as a Group Speakerphone, along with their high-performance, four-microphone far-field voice input pre-processing technology and context-aware control automation software.Conexant has partnered with a top computer maker to create the world's first PC certified by Microsoft as a Skype for Business Group Speakerphone. This landmark achievement takes collaboration to the next level by supporting and extending the Microsoft Skype for Business Group Speakerphone experience within a single, fully-integrated productivity platform. The system features both hardware and software from Conexant, culminating in a highly portable notebook computer that also completely replaces a desk-based speakerphone by enabling loud, clear telephone calls directly from the PC itself.The level of performance achieved by this platform addresses the fact that Skype audio problems often hinder communication and put a damper on productivity. Catching up with your family across the country or having a VoIP roundtable discussion with your colleagues on the other side of the world can indeed be challenging when portions of the conversation often can't be heard or understood. Similar challenges arise when attempting to communicate with intelligent personal assistants. Isn't it frustrating when Microsoft Cortana can't understand you or produce the results you need?With Conexant AudioSmart 3.0 technology and design services, however, things simply work better. Conexant's voice processing algorithms allow users to speak naturally and be heard - as well as better hear what others are saying. With advanced de-reverb, superior noise reduction (on both sides of the conversation), integrated smart amplifier technology, and excellent Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) hit rates, AudioSmart 3.0 makes VoIP communication more natural, and hands-free control less of a burden - even in far-field conditions.Conexant has also created a suite of technologies that intelligently sense context, leveraging information about how a device is being used to automatically optimize the end-user experience. The ability to discern what a device is being used to do under particular conditions allows Conexant technology to intelligently adapt and ensure the audio experience is just right. For example, audio settings normally found buried deep in a control panel application are automatically optimized, with no user input required. Without having to know where that control panel is found - much less how to adjust all the settings found there - users of Conexant technology receive personalized audio processing. The result is louder, more intelligible playback for all use-cases, and more accurate responses from Cortana under the most challenging conditions."We've designed our AudioSmart solutions to give people control of the technologies they interact with the most - using only their voice," said Saleel Awsare, Conexant president. "Adding environmental cues and contextual awareness into our technology mix makes for an even better experience. We're giving collaboration a whole new meaning and changing the way people interact with their computers and intelligent personal assistants."Computex attendees are encouraged to stop by Conexant's suite #1002-10F at the Grand Hyatt Taipei during the show to view a demo and see Conexant's AudioSmart 3.0 solutions in action.
