Embedded Edge

In this episode of Embedded Edge, we’re thrilled to be joined by Michael Förtsch, CEO of Q.ANT, a pioneering company at the forefront of photonic computing. With a focus on using light instead of electricity, Q.ANT’s innovation promises not just higher computational density but also a dramatic reduction in energy consumption. Today, we’ll dive into the fundamental differences between traditional silicon-based systems and photonic computing, the potential of thin-film lithium niobate in this revolution and the broader impact on industries.

Infineon's VP Sivaram Trikutam and Nitin Dahad explore new insights in IoT landscape as the use of Wi-Fi 6/6E expands and why it serves as the foundation for current and next-generation IoT designs. We'll discuss technology trends, typical applications, future predictions and how Wi-Fi 6/6E will make our lives and IoT devices more convenient and energy efficient. 

In this episode, François Baldassari from Memfault explains the concept of observability and why he believes there’s a reliability crisis in today’s embedded software. He does this in the context of changing business models for IoT deployments, from selling devices to selling solutions as a service, and why that requires vendors to identify issues in the field before the customer does. He also talks about why today’s IoT developers need to consider the benefits of open source or third-party software vs build-your-own software, and how Memfault’s blended approach offers a strategic advantage as part of an integrated software quality strategy.

In this embedded edge podcast, we address some of the likely causes and implications of the recent global IT outage caused by a Crowdstrike software update for Microsoft operating system-based devices.
