Aquantia Raises $35 Million for 10GBASE-T Silicon
Aquantia, , a start-up based in Milpitas, California, announced $35 million in Series F funding to support its high-speed Ethernet silicon designs.Aquantia introduced its 40nm 10GBASE-T PHY chipset in 2011, as a critical ingredient to emerging LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) platforms for new data center servers and switches. The company expects the 10GBASE-T interconnect market will see an explosive uptick with Intel’s March 2012 launch of its Romley generation LOM server platforms.
The funding was led by new investor RUSNANO, joined by current investors. RUSNANO will invest $25 million, and current and new investors will contribute $10 million to the financing round.
In addition, Aquantia announced plans to establish a new design center in Russia. The Russian R&D center will support chip design and software development, as well as product testing.... > More

Qualcomm Outlines M2M Silicon Roadmap
Qualcomm outlined its roadmap for the Internet of Everything (IoE) or machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, including 1X, EV-DO, HSPA and LTE cellular chipsets, all featuring its Gobi modem technology.At the high-end of the roadmap are the dual-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 and MDM9x15 chipsets, which incorporate LTE, HSPA+ and EV-DO Rev. B and are targeted at M2M applications requiring integrated application processing and mobile broadband capabilities, such as automotive infotainment and digital signage. The Qualcomm MDM6600 (HSPA/EVDO Rev. B) and MDM6200 (HSPA) chipsets target applications such as telematics that require cross-regional connectivity. The QSC6270 (HSDPA) and QSC1105 (1X/GPRS) chipsets target entry-level M2M applications, such as smart metering, home security and industrial automation.
The Qualcomm Atheros AR4100 and AR4100P, single-chip, single-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi system-in-package solutions with an integrated networking stack. These target low-energy monitoring and control applications. The Qualcomm Atheros QCA7000 chip enables smart energy and automation applications with an M2M HomePlug Green PHY powerline communications solution that is low energy and cost effective while providing for easy integration into customer designs.
Qualcomm has also launched M2MSearch.com, a searchable database that helps developers in selecting the appropriate cellular and connectivity hardware for their M2M devices.
Interop: Freescale Adds Traffic Classification and Load Balancing Software
Freescale is developing intelligent traffic classification and load balancing (ITCL) software for its flagship QorIQ processors. This helps network equipment manufacturers incorporate these key functions into their systems while integrating closely with the silicon's data path acceleration architecture (DPAA) and other advanced features.VortiQa ITCL software intelligently classifies and distributes data traffic flow throughout enterprise and data center network elements, including multiple VAS nodes, allowing network architectures to scale to accommodate the increased load as equipment is added. In addition, VortiQa ITCL software duplicates the traffic multiple times to enable several types of network traffic monitoring.
The software classifies packets to stateful flows, filters the packets, identifies complex application flows and then distributes the packets to the appropriate nodes.
Interop: Marvell and IP Infusion Team on Software-Defined Networks
Marvell and IP Infusion are collaborating to enable a new generation of equipment for software-defined networks (SDNs) in private/public cloud and infrastructure applications.
At this year's Interop, Marvell and IP Infusion are showing:
"We are thrilled to be working with IP Infusion. Marvell is creating an ecosystem designed to accelerate product development cycles and maximize revenue for our ODM/OEM partners and their end customers," said Paul Valentine, vice president of marketing for the Cloud Services and Infrastructure (CSI) Business Unit of Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "Marvell's ARMADA XP, Prestera and Xelerated products are well suited for delivering on the compelling promise of SDNs."
- Marvell's Prestera and Xelerated programmable packet processor,
- Marvell's ARMADA XP multi-core service processors, and
- IP Infusion's ZebOS and Advanced Hardware Integration Software (AHIS).
