Before recent events I would have liked to say that everyone here wants to see Brainchip become successful but unfortunately the disclosed fact that a long term poster here and at HC had multiple identities and used those identities to invent facts and attack others for believing in the technology and those that lead Brainchip makes this clearly impossible.

Today the idea that Brainchip should have taken a different direction in its commercialisation journey has been raised but scant if any regard has been paid to the following known facts:

1. The CEO of Megachips US Office stated that their are a range of less sophisticated customers who do not have the capacity to handle the design and implementation of IP and are looking for a Commercial Off the Shelf System on a Chip that they can easily implement in their product. He stated that Megachips was consideringdoing the engineering to the create a such a chip to supply this types of customers in due course.

2. Brainchip has developed a University program currently taken up by three universities in the USA for the sole purpose of introducing engineers to AKIDA science fiction which is as we know is unlike Intel's Loihi or anyone else's hence the fact that Brainchip has been able to achieve the award of 14 Patents with another 30 patent applications under consideration according to the recently released Annual Report. So unique is AKIDA that Intel has even taken it on board.

3. Brainchip has been on a recruitment campaign now for quite sometime and the fact is that finding engineers with the requisite skill set to be of value is because AKIDA technology is Science Fiction not as easy as finding someone who understands Von Neumann compute.

4. The CEO of Megachips US stated that when Megachips determined to partner with Brainchip it spent 18 months bringing a select group of its own engineers up to speed with the AKIDA technology revolution before finally signing off on an IP licence and embarking upon the marketing of AKIDA technology to their customer base.

5. The AKD1000 commercial chip is a beast and comparable to a GPU running at 900 gigahertz. So powerful is the AKD1000 at 80 nodes that Renesas a company with an already advance Artificial Intelligence program based upon neuromorphic principles only needed to licence 2 nodes.

6. Renesas having licenced these 2 nodes on 23 December, 2020 needed until December, 2022 to tape out its AKIDA based chip for production sometime around the end of 2023.

7. Anil Mankar stated at the 2021 Ai Field Day that while one node of AKIDA technology IP could do most things the ideal offering would be 2 nodes as this made a dramatic difference to the latency and number of passes required. In other words the bottom end of the AKIDA technology market say DOOR BELLS would only need a couple of nodes. Renesas has shown how long it takes to design and implement on chip two nodes.

So without wishing to pour cold water on all those who are suggesting that Brainchip should have taken a different pathway the above known and provable facts suggest that bringing Science Fiction that is unique in all the technology world to market is not as simple as some try to suggest.

Even Renesas the third largest supplier of Micro Control Units to the Automotive sector has taken from 23 December, 2020 to December, 2022 to tape out the least sophisticated iteration of the AKIDA technology revolution.

Even Megachips needed to spend the best part of 18 months educating its hand picked engineers in AKIDA technology before going public and commencing to market it to its customers.

So revolutionary is AKIDA technology that Carnegie Mellon University one of the premier technology universities in the world has seen fit to run a course of study in it as it is seen as differentiated from anything else they teach in their curriculum.

Then again all the above may be totally incorrect and a small to medium business building doorbells will have sitting out the back an engineer capable of designing an AKIDA IP based system and sending it off to TSMC or Global Foundries for production in 6 to 12 months.

My opinion only DYOR

Many times when I
look at the revenue I feel like why not brainchip should manufacture a product or two of their own.
But then when you look into the market economics, company vision, product versatility, our focus area, skillset and capital requirements for newer products and I realised how much right and thoughtful brainchip management is.
Yes sp may take some time to stabalise but that is upto the individuals whether they consider it an opportunity or fed up with that.
Only time have the key to unlock all the anssers and we will know only in future, who is right in their judgement.

Weed all about it !​

The high-tech weeding machines cutting herbicide use​

David Silverberg - Business reporter
Mon, 27 February 2023 at 11:10 am AEDT·5-min read

John Deere's See & Spray Ultimate sprayer is fitted with 36 cameras along its entire length
No-one likes weeding, but new technology is helping farmers around the world tackle weeds in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way.
Deanna Kovar from US farming equipment giant John Deere says that the company's new tractor-pulled weed sprayer can reduce herbicide use by two thirds.

Scroll to continue with content​

The system, called See & Spray Ultimate, looks like a typical field sprayer, in that two long arms or "booms" stick out either side of the tractor, with spraying nozzles dotted along the underside of each.
What makes this sprayer far more high-tech, is that it is fitted with 36 cameras. These constantly scan the plants in front of them, instantly identifying what is a crop and what is a weed.
Controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) software system, the connected sprinklers then only spray herbicide onto the individual weeds rather than drenching the entire field.
"Our system is capturing 1.2 billion pixels per second, so it is seeing and processing a lot," says Ms Kovar, who is vice president of Production and Precision Agriculture Production Systems at John Deere.

To help the software identify the weeds, there are more than 300,000 images on a John Deere database.
The system currently works with three crops - corn, soybean and cotton - and is so far only available in the US.
For farmers elsewhere in the world, a number of rival firms, both large and small, have developed similar smart-weeding technologies. These include German company Bosch BASF Smart Farming, whose camera-scanning weeder is called Smart Spraying Solution.

A number of farm weeding machines use cameras and software systems to target individual weeds
"The biggest challenge in farming is how weeds compete with crops for space, nutrients and water," says Nadav Bocher, chief executive and co-founder of Israeli firm Greeneye Technology, another manufacturer of AI-powered precision weeding systems.
His comments echo a 2021 study which said that the annual financial impact of weeds on just one specific crop - winter wheat in the US and Canada - could total $2.2bn (£1.8bn).
"It's hard to imagine what kind of catastrophic damage farming has done in the past decades [due to excessive use of herbicide]," says Mr Bocher, who claims that Greeneye's system can reduce usage levels by 80%.
"With such a high level of soil pollution created for no reason, that goes back to us as consumers, and hurts the entire ecosystem."

New Tech Economy
New Tech Economy is a series exploring how technological innovation is set to shape the new emerging economic landscape.
Mr Bocher adds that while such high-tech weeding systems are expensive, with Greeneye's costing around $250,000, a large farm could see annual savings of up to $120,000, due to reduced herbicide costs, and higher crop yields.
"AI is such a steep change in farming's evolution, it's like moving from ox to tractor," says Daniel McCann, who leads a company that is also infusing AI tech into a spraying solution for farmers. But with a twist in this case - his company, Precision AI, uses drones to fly over fields in the US Midwest to target weeds.
Based in Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada, Precision AI fed their database with more than two billion images. Mr McCann says this huge number was necessary because "the same crop can look very different if it was planted in, say, sandier soil compared to soil that gets lots of rain and sun".

Bosch BASF Smart Farming's technology works in a similar way to John Deere's
Flying around 10ft (3m) above the ground, the precision spraying drones can bring peace of mind, says Mr McCann. "We now live in a world where the market is increasingly more aware of what's in their food, and demanding less chemicals on their fruits and veggies and everything else."
But whatever the advanced spraying method may look like, farmers still face an uphill battle against weeds. "Some weeds evolve to look more like the crop and they can be harder to find," says Michael Gore, a professor at the SIPS Plant Breeding and Genetics Section at Cornell University.
"Biology often wins in the end, but I like how companies are coming out with these tools that are constantly evolving."
Given the high cost of these new weeding technologies, some experts would like to see farmers given financial help from their governments, so that they can afford to buy them.
"There is a need for substantive financial subsidies that could help farmers overcome the initial lack of cost-effectiveness of digital technologies," says Prof Mihalis Kritikos, policy analyst at the European Parliament, and an expert on the legal and ethical aspects of new and emerging technologies.
One weeding innovation that moves away from spraying herbicides altogether instead uses high-powered thermal lasers that zap weeds once they have been identified by AI-enabled cameras.
Called the LaserWeeder, it has been developed by Seattle-based Carbon Robotics, which claims that it can eliminate up to 100,000 weeds per hour when pulled along by a tractor.

The LaserWeeder does as its name suggests - it burns weeds away using a laser
The lasers destroy weeds instantly, and the burnt remains are composed back into the soil, explains Paul Mikesell, Carbon Robotics' chief executive.
So far the system has been used on fields of potatoes, onions and garlic in US states such as California, Washington and Idaho.
Mr Mikesell adds that the first units sold out when released last year, and it is now manufacturing more for the US and Canadian markets. Expansion into Europe is said to be further down the road.
Killing weeds with lasers allows farmer to avoid the dreaded "spray drift" that can happen with herbicide spraying, even if the targeting is as exact as possible. "If you spray anything outside, it will always drift in some way," Mr Mikesell says.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise doubles down on private 5G, extends leadership in wireless connectivity with acquisition of Athonet​

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • PRESS RELEASE​

IN THIS ARTICLE​

• HPE is acquiring private cellular technology provider Athonet to expand our overall private 5G offerings to both enterprises and communication service providers
• The combination of Aruba+Athonet now gives us the most complete private 5G and Wi-Fi portfolio in the market, and puts HPE at the forefront of a growing private 5G market that IDC predicts to grow to $1.6B annually by 2026

Athonet acquisition strengthens HPE’s private networking capabilities to help enterprise customers accelerate 5G deployments and telco customers drive new revenue streams​

HOUSTON, Texas – February 23, 2023 – Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced the expansion of its connected edge-to-cloud offering with the acquisition of Athonet, a private cellular network technology provider that delivers mobile core networks to enterprises and communication service providers. Combined with the HPE telco and Aruba networking portfolios, Athonet will put HPE at the forefront of a growing market that is predicted by IDC to increase to more than $1.6 billion1 by 2026.

Based in Vicenza, Italy, Athonet has more than 15 years of experience delivering 4G and 5G mobile core solutions to customers and partners globally. Athonet is an award-winning technology pioneer with more than 450 successful customer deployments in various industries, including leading mobile operators, hospitals, airports, transportation ports, utilities, government and public safety organizations.

With enterprises facing complex connectivity challenges across large and remote sites, private 5G offers high levels of coverage, reliability and mobility across campus and industrial environments. It also augments the cost-effective, high-capacity connectivity provided by Wi-Fi. The incorporation of Athonet’s technology will allow HPE to deliver private networking capabilities directly to enterprises as part of HPE’s Aruba networking portfolio, while also enabling communications service providers (CSPs) to quickly deploy private 5G networks for their customers.

“Telco customers are looking for simpler ways to deploy private 5G networks to meet growing customer expectations at the connected edge,” said Tom Craig, global vice president and general manager, Communications Technology Group at HPE. “At the same time, enterprise customers are demanding a customized 5G experience with low-latency, segregated resources, extended range and security across campus and industrial environments that complement their existing wireless networks. With the acquisition of Athonet, HPE now has one of the most complete private 5G and Wi-Fi portfolios for CSP and enterprise customers – and we will offer it as a service through HPE GreenLake.”

HPE expands private 5G solutions for both telcos and the enterprise

HPE will integrate Athonet’s technology into its existing CSP and Aruba networking enterprise offerings to create a private networking portfolio that accelerates digital transformation from edge-to-cloud. The networking portfolio will provide the following benefits:

• Enhanced private networks that combine the high capacity of Wi-Fi with the coverage and mobility of 5G
  
  
• Accelerated private 5G deployments that improve agility and innovation to help telco B2B teams and enterprise customers
  
  
• New enterprise revenue streams for telcoswith differentiated services leveraging 5G and Wi-Fi
  
  
• Alignment of costs to revenues with consumption-based models for enterprises and telcos through HPE GreenLake, reducing the risk of entering new markets
  
  
• Management of operational complexity and cost efficiency with 5G orchestration and zero-touch automation to deliver new workloads from edge-to-cloud

With 5G investments running into the billions of dollars, CSPs are looking for simple ways to meet customer needs and drive new B2B revenue by deploying both edge compute and private 5G networks. The addition of Athonet’s software to HPE’s telco portfolio enhances one of the broadest communications portfolios in the market, which serves a base of more than 300 customers across 160 countries and connects more than one billion mobile devices worldwide. Building on its existing private 5G solutions, HPE’s enhanced offering for CSPs will support private 4G and 5G networks and include telco-grade orchestration and automation capabilities. These capabilities will help launch new B2B services that meet growing customer expectations for the connected edge.

“Athonet was founded to provide customers with private 4G and 5G solutions that deliver carrier-grade reliability and performance to suit their increasing and more challenging connectivity needs,” said Gianluca Verin, CEO and co-founder of Athonet. “We are excited to join HPE and combine our highly skilled teams as we expand our joint service provider offerings for the rapidly growing private 5G market and build on HPE’s strategy to be the leading edge-to-cloud solutions provider.”

Private 5G offers enterprises new capabilities that are ultra-secure, easy to deploy and manage, ready for highly specialized applications such as robotics and industrial IoT, data networks and pipelines, and security systems facilitation. The acquisition of Athonet strengthens Aruba’s connected edge portfolio, providing the unique and highly sought-after ability to deliver fully integrated Wi-Fi and private 5G networks. Integration with Aruba Central will enable network managers to administer Wi-Fi and private 5G through a single pane of glass and bring to bear the power of AI-powered insights, workflow automation, and robust security.

HPE GreenLake, HPE’s edge-to-cloud platform, will offer Athonet private 5G offerings, combining all costs for Wi-Fi and private 5G into one single monthly subscription with no capital expenditure. Flexible consumption options, including HPE’s networking as a service, mean private 5G networks can be deployed with reduced risk, little upfront investment and scaled according to demand.

HPE portfolio integration and availability

HPE will integrate Athonet’s solutions with its existing telco software assets and plans to make them available to customers some time following the close of the transaction. HPE will also integrate the solutions with the Aruba networking portfolio in the near future. The transaction is expected to close at the beginning of the third quarter of HPE’s 2023 fiscal year, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Another great partnership for BrainChip.
And fantastic to be in the same market as NVISO and Socionext. So in the near future, BrainChip will get a bigger piece of the pie within the in-cabin technology market. (The more, the merrier.)

It's the same analog as the 'iceberg'.
We all the see the tip of it, but what's underneath will require time to be unveiled.
