performance and an improved user experience from their devices, and the UFS standard is constantly being refined in order to support this evolution. Due to its serial interface, UFS supports full duplexing, which enables both concurrent reading and writing between the host processor and UFS device. With the introduction of UFS 3.0, JEDEC, the global leader in the development of standards for the microelectronics industry, has enhanced previous versions of the UFS standard to help product designers enable significant improvements in mobile devices and related applications. The new devices integrate 96-layer BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory and a controller in a JEDEC-standard 11.5 x 13mm package. The controller performs error correction, wear leveling, logical-to-physical address translation, and bad-block management for simplified system development. All three devices are compliant with JEDEC UFS Ver. 3.0, including HS-GEAR4, which has a theoretical interface speed of up to 11.6 Gigabits per second per lane (x2 lanes = 23.2Gbps) while also supporting features that suppress increases in power consumption. Sequential read and write performance of the 512GB device are improved by approximately 70 percent and 80 percent, respectively, over previous generation 256GB Toshiba devices. Toshiba was the first company to introduce UFS devices and has been shipping since 2013. The introduction of these UFS Ver. 3.0 devices maintains Toshiba’s leadership position in storage for next generation mobile devices which they will continue through driving further advances. Samples of the new devices will be on show at Toshiba’s booth (Hall 3A – 424) at the Embedded World 2019 Exhibition and Conference (26-28 February – Nuremberg, Germany).

Rohde & Schwarz strengthens its monitoring and IP contribution business fields by integrating GMIT GmbH In 2010, Rohde & Schwarz expanded its product line by adding software based, cloud-enabled solutions from GMIT GmbH. The next logical step has now been taken – to fully integrate the subsidiary into the parent company. In doing so, the company is following its strategic goal of offering digital products as a service. The key products R&S PRISMON and R&S RelayCaster will be transferred to Rohde & Schwarz and marketed through a broader global service and sales network as well as through a partner network. “We have been working on this shift towards digital products for some time and now have the right organization to focus more on this market,” emphasizes Hannes Strobel, Vice President Monitoring & Headend. All GMIT GmbH employees will be taken on by Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co KG until the integration is completed and will remain the contacts for this product area. All contractual obligations and warranties vis-à- vis partners and customers remain in effect. The R&S RelayCaster IP contribution solution helps ensure the reliable feed and distribution of live A/V content via unmanaged IP networks, which is especially advantageous for providers with large networks. The R&S PRISMON monitoring and multiviewer solution for broadcast and streaming media provides a single platform for automatic, convergent monitoring of media content transported in networks.
