He added, “I am delighted to welcome technology innovators, developers, and academia to our free engineering consultations at Arrow Open Lab so they can gain the necessary advice and resources to commercialize their innovative ideas into business opportunities in the 5G and AI era.”

Edge endpoints/devices

The free consultations aim to help technology companies configure the electronic system architecture design of their edge endpoints/devices for delivering optimal results across 5G networks and AI technology. Arrow’s engineers and technical experts will provide insights and recommendations across the development roadmap including:

  • Selecting the system architecture with the most desirable and power-efficient computing for running AI algorithm (CPU vs FPGA vs GPU vs ASIC)
  • Integrating a massive network of AI-powered sensors to yield actionable data insights
  • Understanding 5G-specific protocol performance validation and standard and regulation compliance Formulating end-to-end security strategy with bi-directional network and node authentication to ensure secured access of data

To help the local engineering and innovation community navigate their path to adopting emerging technologies, Arrow has co-organized a webinar from June Nine to 11, 2020 in conjunction with Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), to discuss opportunities and challenges associated with the convergency of 5G, AI, IoT technologies (Link).

“HKSTP works with many partners to enable the I&T ecosystem. We thank Arrow, being one of the incredible partners, for its long-term support for accelerating the innovative journey of technology companies and universities in Hong Kong with us. The Arrow Open Lab has a track record of helping high-growth companies leverage the power of AIoT and 5G. Now, with free consultations available, it is exciting to see Arrow’s expertise being delivered to a wider audience, helping startups at Science Park and beyond to expand the possibilities of innovation,” said Ir Peter Yeung, head of Electronics/ICT Clusters & Smart City Platform of HKSTP.

Arrow’s engineers at Open Lab worked closely with CUHK’s Embedded AI and IoT Lab team to launch the first healthcare monitoring proof-of-concept design incorporating Analog Devices’ 3D time-of-flight technology. This demonstrates a successful commercial application of AI and deep-learning technologies.
