Focusing on communication solutions, Intel is expanding by acquisitions in this space.
Lantiq specializes in making chips and software for broadband communication,
and networking solutions for DSL, ethernet, Wi-Fi etc.
Happy for one of my former colleagues, Dan Artusi, and his team. One interesting note: the Lantiq G.fast reference platform uses a Sckipio chipset with CEVA cores, not their own chip.
It often makes sense to get to market more quickly with a CEVA core than an internal core. Maybe the CEVA core was easier to integrate, had better documentation, was just more re-usable, lower cost, better software support ...
Totally agreed on using CEVA core. In this case it's the chip-level solution: Sckipio has a complete G.fast chip. Lantiq is still (publicly announced) back on VDSL2 - where the bulk of FTTx shipments/revenue have been. I guess I'm presuming G.fast will catch on as the VDSL2 successor, but that jury is still open.
