Kontron has introduced a rugged TSN switch for defence networks. CERES-TSN combines deterministic Ethernet, optical interfaces, secure management, and European-controlled manufacture.
-
Xiphera is joining Finland’s SecureSoC programme for trusted semiconductor systems. The project links hardware cryptography, RISC-V design, AI-assisted verification, and supply-chain resilience.
-
HMS Networks has launched rugged switches for industrial Ethernet networks. The N-Tron NT7000 platform combines Gigabit performance, precision timing, fast recovery, and OT-focused management.
-
u-blox has introduced European-made wireless modules for industrial IoT designs. The MAYA-W5 and NORA-W5 families combine Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE, and pre-certified integration.
-
Agile Analog and Xiphera are joining physical and cryptographic protection. Their collaboration combines anti-tamper sensor IP with post-quantum cryptographic cores.
-
Commercial UAV production is creating new pressures on battery development strategies. As manufacturers move from low-volume engineering programmes to repeat production, battery packs must deliver more than performance alone, requiring manufacturability, traceability, testing rigour, and supply chain resilience to support sustainable growth.
-
e-peas is linking energy harvesting with practical ambient IoT deployment. Its VivaTech work highlights PMICs, ambient light, and self-powered devices.
-
DroneShield has moved counter-UAS manufacturing into Europe for sovereign supply. The first European-built system supports regional demand for AI-enabled drone detection.
-
Menta and Presto are taking reconfigurable logic into ASIC flows. Their collaboration pairs embedded FPGA IP with industrialisation support for long-lifecycle semiconductor programmes.
-
NGMN has outlined operator-led guidance for future 6G migration. The papers emphasise spectrum sharing, device readiness, chipset maturity, RF front-end design, and power efficiency as deployment constraints.
