Leankon has widened its NFC antenna range to nine modules. The expanded 13.56 MHz line packages ferrite-backed, connector-ready options into a broader off-the-shelf portfolio for healthcare, access control, and industrial IoT hardware.
Teradyne is pushing board test further into AI server manufacturing. Omnyx combines structural, parametric, high-speed interconnect, and operational test in one platform for complex data-centre hardware.
Europe’s ferroelectric memory push has reached an important manufacturing test. CEA-Leti and Fraunhofer IPMS have completed the first wafer exchange inside the FAMES pilot line for HZO-based memory stacks.
TI is compressing AI rack power delivery into two stages. The architecture tracks NVIDIA’s 800 VDC roadmap and pushes higher density, fewer conversions, and lower copper overhead into the datacentre power chain.
Coherent is scaling InP photonics for faster AI data links. Its OFC 2026 lineup spans lasers, modulators, photodiodes, and subsystems aimed at 1.6T and 3.2T optical architectures.
Samsung and AMD tighten HBM4 planning around rack-scale AI systems. Their expanded agreement links next-generation high-bandwidth memory supply to future Instinct accelerators, where bandwidth, packaging, power, and platform integration are now moving together.
UK lighting faces rising WEEE scrutiny as marketplace data deepens. Fresh reporting is sharpening the scale of non-compliance across online lighting sales, increasing pressure on registration, traceability, classification, and end-of-life obligations.
Digi extends remote telemetry into harsher and less connected sites. Its Connect Sensor XRT-M combines LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity, MQTT support, edge processing, and ruggedised deployment for remote industrial monitoring without fixed local infrastructure.
Microchip targets harsher power stages with ruggedised silicon carbide packaging. Its new BZPACK mSiC modules combine HV-H3TRB endurance, broad topology options, and a baseplate-less assembly approach for industrial and renewable energy power-conversion designs.
