After discussions with exhibitors and partners at the beginning of February, Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH has initially decided to postpone PCIM Europe to late summer. In light of the ongoing pandemic and challenging situation, numerous industry players have been hesitant to commit to an on-site event. Therefore, it was decided to hold a digital event only.

Amber Solutions, a developer of patented technologies for the digital control of electricity in solid-state architecture, has closed a Series B funding round totalling more than US$8.5 million.

Power over Ethernet has long been popular for connecting network devices, as it eliminates the power cable connection. But how has PoE kept pace with the ever more power hungry devices essential to today’s networks? This article looks at the answer.

Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors are very quickly proliferating the power electronics industry and are a popular substitute in their own right for silicon-based FETs because of characteristics such as high electron mobility. In addition, GaN transistors are used in more applications such as power chargers, automobiles, and audio amplifiers.

Coventry in the UK is destined to become home to the world’s first “airport” for electric aircraft. Known as Air-One, it’s set to launch this year as a hub for aircraft including air taxis and delivery drones.
