Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

EdgeCortix Joins AI-RAN Alliance to Accelerate the Integration of AI and Next-gen RAN Infrastructure
December 20, 2024 | EdgeCortixEstimated reading time: 1 minute
EdgeCortix, a leading fabless semiconductor company specializing in power-efficient AI processing, today announced its membership in the AI-RAN Alliance. This collaboration represents a significant step in EdgeCortix’s commitment to drive the seamless integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and radio access network (RAN) technologies into a unified computing platform, paving the way for more efficient and scalable wireless connectivity.
The AI-RAN Alliance unites industry leaders and innovators to accelerate the adoption and standardization of AI within wireless communication systems, advancing RAN technologies and mobile networks. As a member, EdgeCortix will leverage its expertise in AI acceleration and wireless acceleration hardware to support the Alliance’s mission of building smarter, adaptive, and energy-efficient network infrastructure for AI-and-RAN.
“With the rapid evolution of 5G and post-5G communication networks, the need for high-performance, energy-efficient, and integrated AI and RAN computing systems has become more pressing than ever,” said Sakyasingha Dasgupta, CEO and Founder of EdgeCortix. “At EdgeCortix, we are developing a next-generation low-power chiplet platform that combines our proven AI acceleration technology with newly integrated wireless acceleration capabilities. Joining the AI-RAN Alliance represents an exciting opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders to establish standards, share best practices, and drive innovation in AI-RAN integrated systems. Together, we aim to enhance infrastructure efficiency from the edge to the data center, unlocking new economic opportunities and reshaping the future of telecommunications.”
The AI-RAN Alliance harnesses the collective expertise of its members, including EdgeCortix, to transform RAN technology across three critical areas:
- AI-for-RAN: Enhancing radio access networks with AI to improve spectral efficiency.
- AI-and-RAN: Seamlessly integrating AI into RAN processes to optimize infrastructure utilization and unlock new revenue streams.
- AI-on-RAN: Bringing AI services to the network edge to boost operational efficiency and deliver innovative services to mobile users.
Network operators and mobile connectivity solution providers in the Alliance will lead the testing and deployment of these groundbreaking technologies, developed collaboratively by member companies and academic partners, driving the future of intelligent, adaptive network infrastructure.

Don’t Call It Ground, Call It Return
04/09/2026 | Kristin Moyer, Global Electronics AssociationIf you’ve studied electrical or computer engineering, or have just read an electronics schematic, circuit diagram, or other application notes, you've likely seen the term “Ground,” often abbreviated GND. This is used in school and during the teaching of electronics circuit analysis to indicate a reference or zero-voltage node for circuit analysis. It is also taught that there is no current in GND since the voltage is zero. These are assumptions made for the purpose of simplifying the introduction to circuit analysis.
