3D packaging technologies evolve in response to miniaturization

Three-dimensional (3D) packaging is expected to emerge as a dominant performing solution in the electronic/chip packaging industry, says a new study from Frost & Sullivan. The analysis, “Global Trends in Electronic/Chip Packaging,” finds that 3D packaging technology will be key in catering to the ever-increasing miniaturization demands from application sectors that include consumer electronics and a wide range of high-speed memory devices.

Looking beyond successful solutions such as system on chip (SoC), the electronic/chip packaging industry has steadily started exploring various forms of system in package (SiP)-based solutions.

Wi-Fi Moves Into The Sensor Networking Realm

Rarely is Wi-Fi invoked within the context of wireless sensor networking or industrial process control,” observes Sam Lucero, ABI Research senior analyst. “Wi-Fi is considered too power-intensive as many sensors, actuators, and other devices require battery operation while deployed for several years at a time – whereas Wi-Fi is optimized for limited time usage: from a few hours to less than a full day.”

But a new transition peeks over the horizon, put forth by a company called GainSpan.

A Wi-Fi chipset company, GainSpan has developed various techniques that provide the battery life needed by sensor networks for Wi-Fi.
