SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Device
Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today announced that it will
showcase work it is doing with IBM and 5G Lab Germany to develop 5G
systems at Thursday's IEEE 5G Summit in Dresden, Germany. The companies have been driving
advances in 5G networking by combining IDT® low-latency
interconnect technology and edge computing expertise with IBM
Power8 servers at 5G Lab Germany.
In addition, IDT CEO Greg Waters
will give a presentation titled, "A 5G Society: Exploring the Next
Generation of Global Connectivity." The Sept. 29 conference will be held at the
International Congress Center Dresden.
IDT will display the edge computing cluster recently developed
with IBM using IBM Power8 Servers and IDT's 50 Gbps RapidIO
interconnect and sensor technology. 5G Lab Germany is using the
cluster for development of connected vehicle offload with mobile
networks, autonomous robots, IoT and remote controls for industrial
equipment, as well as video caching and real-time analytics.
In edge computing, the data and services are moved from their
traditional centralized location to the edges of the network,
speeding up the results by enabling data management and analytics
to occur at the data source.
"IBM is driving the evolution of the mobile network with key
partners like IDT, whose RapidIO interconnect is already incumbent
in 4G mobile networks," said Calista
Redmond, president, OpenPOWER Foundation. "Our Power8 server
technologies build on IBM's supercomputing heritage and will help
drive proliferation of latency-sensitive applications close to the
end users, enabling new applications for tomorrow's
consumers."
"5G Lab Germany is working with operators and key systems-level
innovators like IDT to transform the emerging tactile Internet,
where edge computing can be implemented to bring dramatic
improvements in the speed with which machines can communicate with
one another," said Gerhard Fettweis,
Vodafone chair professor and chair of 5G Lab Germany. "By working
with these industry leaders, we can transform the infrastructure
around low-latency mobile edge computing."
