This mobile wallet is Cloud-based

Rambus’ Bell ID has inked an agreement with First Data Poland to offer Cloud-based mobile payments as a service to Polish banks.

More specifically, Eurobank Poland has integrated Bell ID’s Secure Element (SE) in the Cloud software and First Data Poland’s data preparation, personalization and processing services into its mobile wallet application. Essentially, this allows Eurobank Poland to enable easy, secure mobile payments for more than one million customers via host card emulation (HCE) technology.

We’ll always have Paris (but not the Metro ticket)

The Local has confirmed that the iconic Parisian Métro ticket will be phased out by 2021.

“For nearly 116 years, from the opening of the first line in 1900, those little rectangles of white paper with a black line on the back – the tickets for a ride on the Paris Metro system, have been with us,” writes Katie Warren of The Local.

Optimizing edge nodes for the IoT

Jacob Harel of Zeidman Technologies recently noted that IoT developers are currently spending the majority of their resources finding ways to collect and analyze data. “The twist, and pitfall, is that the amount of data moving through the system can swamp the system’s servers and hubs and overwhelm the databases,” he wrote in an Embedded Computing Design article.

Redefining the consumer landscape with AR

Professor Ko De Ruyter of Cass Business School recently noted that augmented reality (AR) has already positively altered the retail experience for consumers. “Companies such as IKEA, L’Oreal, and BMW have added AR applications to their frontline service delivery,” De Ruyter told PhysOrg. “What our research shows is that AR is enhancing online and offline service experiences. The real-time and interactive blend of virtual and physical information results in a compelling experience of presence, where virtual objects become part of the physical world.”

Open sourcing Moore’s Law

Nicole Hemsoth of The Next Platform recently observed that while Moore’s Law has yet to fully run its course, organizations such as the IEEE, along with individual device makers, are already thinking their way “out of a box” which has influenced the semiconductor industry for decades.

“The semiconductor industry is not growing; there has been unparalleled consolidation and money spent on acquisitions, and all of this is coming from the fact that this is a non-growth market,” Rambus CMO Jerome Nadel told The Next Platform. “The industry is only reaping 1.5 percent of the billions in value it creates, so we are asking is what alternative paths exist.”

Rambus to talk ANSYS at DAC 2016

Joohee Kim of Rambus will be presenting a paper at DAC 2016 about how ANSYS simulation can be used to make IP more consumable by ensuring the integrity of complex designs. In addition to presenting at ANSYS’ Booth Session, Joohee Kim will be speaking at DAC’s IP Track and Poster Session.
