LPSC* developed a neutron detector for French electric utility EDF to measure the snow water equivalent (SWE), or the amount of water in snowpack. The neutrons, which reach the Earth’s surface in varying quantities depending on altitude and pressure, react with the water they pass through (they are slowed down or, in some cases, even […] >>

Millimeter-wave communications, which offer substantial bandwidth for higher transmission speeds, are garnering interest as a solution for tomorrow’s 5G networks. Leti is paying close attention, with a number of research projects on the topic, one of which won Best Paper at EuCAP in March. In work conducted under the mmMAGIC project, Leti researchers compared two […] >>

The SensiNact IoT peripherals integration and management platform developed by Leti facilitates the interoperability and processing of data from heterogeneous sensors installed in urban environments. Leti announced that the software would be released as open source at the Embedded World 2017 trade show. The software has already been used in a Franco-Japanese research project on […] >>
