First Open RAN broadband NTN LEO satellite constellation: "The new LEO constellation satellites will be designed, manufactured and tested at the MDA Space satellite facility. The constellation will utilise up to 25×20 MHz of AWS-4/S-band 2GHz frequencies. It will be fully compliant with the newly created NTN and 3GPP standards."

The direct-to-device (D2D) satellite network will enable a wide range of services to consumers, enterprises and governments across the globe.

Formal methods are the future of embedded software verification: "Formal methods leverage mathematical techniques to specify and verify the behaviour of software systems. This is particularly crucial for C/C++, languages known for their power but also for being prone to errors like buffer overflows, memory leaks, and null pointer dereferences that can lead to security vulnerabilities and system crashes."

eeNews talks to Caroline Guillaum, CEO of TrustInSoft, about the issues that make formal methods a key tool in testing software.

Do you understand the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)? There are seven key aspects of Cyber Resilience Act compliance: secure-by-default configuration, secure over-the-air firmware updates, data integrity protection, access control and device authentication, data confidentiality and secure storage, risk assessment and secure-by-design integration, and attack surface reduction.

Embedded system developers are set to face major challenges over the next two years as the CRA regulations are coming into effect.

US and EU de-escalate trade tensions, but questions remain

The new trade deal announced on July 27, 2025, marks a significant shift in economic relations between the United States and European Union. After months of heated debates and threats of high tariffs, this agreement aims to stabilize relations between the world's two largest economies. But what does it really mean for industries like semiconductors and energy investments? And how will unresolved issues such as steel tariffs impact the market's future?

Are you ready to explore the impact of this deal on global trade dynamics? Get the full analysis and insights here:

The July 2025 US-EU trade deal eases tensions with tariff caps and tech exemptions—but key questions and uncertainties remain.

How quantum computing will challenge IoT security: "The key to modern asymmetric cryptography is to create an equation that is easy to solve in one direction but difficult to reverse by an adversary in the other direction," writes Avishay Shraga, Sony Semiconductor Israel. "Traditionally, this was done through modular arithmetic, where a large prime modulus and a generator were used to generate a key, although there are multiple methods to do so."

The long-term viability of IoT connected devices requires solutions that are LPWA-friendly and with quantum security in mind

€100m for Ukraine defence technologies: The European Commission has launched BraveTech EU initiative with Ukraine to accelerate the development of defence technologies. The programme aims to build on battlefield-tested innovations from the on-going war and deepen integration with Ukraine’s defence industry. The initiative connects Ukraine’s BRAVE 1 defence tech platform with EU programmes like the European Defence Fund (EDF) and the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS).

NASA looks to self-driving lunar rover decision:US space agency NASA is set to make a decision about the supplier of its self-driving lunar rover for the joint US-European Artemis mission to the Moon. NASA has worked with all three lunar terrain vehicle developers – Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab – to complete the preliminary design reviews. The rover will transport astronauts during their missions, but can also be used in self-driving modes in-between crewed mission. https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/nasa-looks-to-self-driving-lunar-rover-decision/

Implementing multiple AI agents in a telecoms network is increasingly having unintended consequences as the models try to balance the requirements in different ways. This is raising issues for the design of the next generation chips that are embedding native AI agent capability for 5G and 6G networks.
