关于客户
Altair 是一家无晶圆厂芯片公司,专门开发和销售高性能、低功耗 4G 长期演进 (LTE) 半导体解决方案。该公司的主要市场以消费者为中心,数以百万计的芯片被用于平板电脑、上网本、Chromebook、移动热点、相机、路由器和网关等设备。 Altair 还进军不断增长的物联网 (IoT) 市场,并于最近发布了一系列 LTE 芯片组,这些芯片组的功耗、尺寸和成本对市场产生了重大影响。该公司正在引领 LTE 的重新定位,从一种高吞吐量、昂贵的技术转变为一种适合要求苛刻的物联网和机器对机器 (M2M) 应用的技术,例如智能电表、车辆远程信息处理和可穿戴设备。
挑战
Altair 是一家专注于高性能、低功耗 4G 长期演进 (LTE) 半导体解决方案的无晶圆厂芯片公司,在快速增长的 LTE 市场中争夺市场份额的过程中面临着多项挑战。先进的 LTE 技术需要高水平的信号处理和精心设计,以最大限度地降低功耗并最大限度地提高性能。该公司还必须应对与不同片上系统 (SoC) 组件的知识产权 (IP) 许可、先进工艺几何的流片、运营商认证以及大量软件投资相关的高成本。此外,Altair 必须满足其芯片组的严格上市时间和价格目标。该公司的产品组合分为增压 LTE 和物联网 LTE,无论是提高性能还是降低功耗,都面临着不同的挑战。
解决方案
为了克服这些挑战,Altair 转向了 Cadence 的模拟 IP 解决方案。 Cadence 提供了一整套模拟 IP、模拟设计和集成专业知识,以及用于 LPDDR2、USB 2.0 和 M-PCIe 接口的控制器和 PHY IP。 Cadence 的模拟 IP 解决方案使 Altair 能够在不影响性能的情况下开发领先的低功耗模拟产品设计。得益于 Cadence 经验丰富的团队和快速的客户支持,该公司能够显着缩短开发周期。 Cadence 还与 Altair 的 RF 电路进行联合仿真,以确保不出现任何问题,从而成功流片,设计首次在测试芯片上发挥作用。通过为 USB、内存、外设和模拟提供单一 IP 来源,Cadence 使 Altair 能够更轻松地集成模块并优化布局以适应芯片平面图。

Case Study
Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
