Autodesk Acquires Spacemaker: Offers Architects AI-powered Generative Design
to Explore Best Urban Design Options
Autodesk, Inc. announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Spacemaker for
$240 million net of cash. Based in Oslo, Norway, Spacemaker uses cloud-based, artificial
intelligence (AI), and generative design to help architects, urban designers, and real estate
developers make more informed early-stage design decisions faster and enables improved
opportunities for sustainability from the start. By evaluating the best options from the outset,
Spacemaker helps architects maximize their clients’ long-term property investments. The
transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during
Autodesk’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, ending January 31, 2021. The acquisition of
Spacemaker provides Autodesk with a powerful platform to drive modern, user-centric
automation – powered by AI – and accelerate outcome-based design capabilities for
architects. With Spacemaker, design professionals can rapidly create and evaluate options for
a building or urban development. With AI as a partner to the architect, the Spacemaker
platform enables users to quickly generate, optimize, and iterate on design alternatives, all
while considering design criteria and data like terrain, maps, wind, lighting, traffic, zoning,
etc. Spacemaker quickly returns design alternatives optimized for the full potential of the
site. This leads to better outcomes from the start and allows designers to focus on the creative
part of their professional work.
Executive Commentary
"Spacemaker is a lesson in the power of insights and automation, giving designers the
ability to create and test urban design ideas in minutes," says CEO and President of
Autodesk. "With two billion more people expected to call our planet home by 2050,
speed of design and sustainability in urban planning must be priorities. Spacemaker
technology offers a fundamental shift in how we imagine and build cities to keep people
and the planet healthy."

Ericsson completes acquisition of Cradlepoint
Ericsson has completed its acquisition of Cradlepoint, the US-based market leader in Wireless WAN
Edge 4G and 5G solutions for the enterprise market. The investment is key to Ericsson’s ongoing
strategy of capturing market share in the rapidly expanding 5G enterprise space. Closing of the
acquisition follows the announcement on September 18, 2020 of Ericsson’s intention to acquire
Cradlepoint. At closing, a consideration of around USD 1 b. was paid using Ericsson’s cash-in-hand.
Cradlepoint’s sales for 2019 were SEK 1.2 b. with a gross margin of 61%. Ericsson’s operating
margins are expected to be negatively impacted by approximately 1% in 2021 and 2022 - where half
is related to amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition. Cradlepoint is expected to
contribute to operating cash-flow starting in 2022. Through Cradlepoint’s solutions, companies can
connect sites, vehicles, mobile workforces, and IoT devices in a simple and secure way using cellular
technology. By leveraging the combined offering, Ericsson will be able to create valuable new revenue
streams for its customers by supporting 5G-enabled services for enterprise, and boost returns on
investments in the network. Ericsson’s global presence and long-standing relationships with the
world’s leading service providers will also help accelerate Cradlepoint’s international expansion.
Cradlepoint will operate as a stand-alone subsidiary within Ericsson and continue to build on the
current market momentum as 5G is speeding up digital transformation and increasing the need for
advanced connectivity services for enterprises. Cradlepoint will be part of Ericsson’s Business Area
Technologies & New Businesses.
Executive Commentary
Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Technologies & New Businesses, says: "I am
very excited to welcome Cradlepoint to the Ericsson family. With Cradlepoint’s market leading
solutions, we are strengthening our enterprise offering and taking an important step to lead the
next wave of enterprise network transformation. Together, we will power solutions to the
customer edge that help improve productivity and deliver real-time services, enabling us to drive
faster adoption of 5G in enterprise segments. This is good news for our customers as it helps them
to accelerate their returns on 5G investments.”

Marvell Snags Inphi in $10B Acquisition
Marvell announced it will acquire rival chipmaker Inphi for roughly $10 billion
in cash and stock options. The announcement marks the second high-profile
semiconductor acquisition of the week, following AMD ‘s $35 billion purchase of
Xilinx. As part of the deal, which already received approval from both company’s
boards of directors, Marvell plans to reorganize the combined company into a
single U.S.-based chip giant. Once combined, Marvell boasts the company will
represent nearly $40 billion in market value and cover an addressable market
worth more than $20 billion a year. Inphi is a U.S.-based chipmaker specializing
in optoelectrical interconnects, commonly used in cloud data centers, where the
company can provide up to 800 Gb/s of throughput. With workloads becoming
increasingly distributed across cloud-data centers, higher-speed interconnects
become necessary to satiate bandwidth demands, Marvell claims. The acquisition
is expected to close in the second half of 2021 subject to regulatory approval.
Inphi CEO Ford Tamer will join Marvell’s Board of Directs alongside much of the
company’s talent.
Executive Commentary
“I couldn’t be more excited about this combination, and I believe it will be as
transformational for Marvell in the cloud market as Cavium was for us in the
5G market,” said Marvell CEO on an investor call this morning. Marvel’s
vision is to move, store, process, and secure the world’s data faster and more
reliably than anyone else, and this acquisition significantly accelerates the
move element of our vision, , referencing Inphi’s optoelectrical interconnect
technologies, which he called highly complementary to the company’s
existing physical layer (PHY) portfolio.

Solution Description
The pandemic has shown that technology is key not only to keeping us securely connected and productive but also to keep essential functions of civic
life and democracy moving during disruptions. During the Covid-19 pandemic, local and national government institutions are responding and adapting
by pivoting to deliver services and continue the business of governing, remotely. To support governmental organizations with these business resiliency
efforts, Cisco is announcing solutions to enable justice systems and legislative bodies worldwide to continue their critical functions. The new solutions
combine the power of Cisco technology, including Cisco Webex video conferencing, with expertise and innovation from Cisco Customer Experience
(CX) and the Cisco partner ecosystem. To speed access to these tools, Cisco’s Public Funding Office has increased capacity to help customers and
partners navigate funding sources and accelerate projects that help them serve their communities through the pandemic. These new solutions bring
secure delivery of virtual government services across multiple platforms of previously disparate technology to provide greater efficiencies, reduce cost
associated with travel, while keeping the public safer. Prior to Covid-19, many governing bodies were legally required to meet in-person, and the shift
to remote has been a new experience for many. Now, according to a new Cisco survey, over 50% of government workers expect to work remotely eight
or more days per month. Governing bodies worldwide need to deliver seamless collaboration for their fully remote and hybrid legislative bodies,
enabling them to convene safely and securely – while adhering to procedures steeped in law and tradition.

Fujitsu Strengthens Cyber-Security with AI Technology to Protect
Against Deception Attacks
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com

Solution Description
Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. announced the development of a technology to make AI models more robust against deception attacks. The
technology protects against attempts to use forged attack data to trick AI models into making a deliberate misjudgment when AI is used for
sequential data consisting of multiple elements. With the use of AI technologies progressing in various fields in recent years, the risk of attacks
that intentionally interfere with AI's ability to make correct judgements represents a source of growing concern. Many suitable conventional
security resistance enhancement technologies exist for media data like images and sound. Their application to sequential data such as
communication logs and service usage history remains insufficient, however, because of the challenges posed by preparing simulated attack
data and the loss of accuracy. To overcome these challenges, Fujitsu has developed a robustness enhancement technology for AI models
applicable to sequential data. This technology automatically generates a large amount of data simulating an attack and combines it with the
original training data set to improve resistance to potential deception attacks while maintaining the accuracy of judgment. By applying this
technology to an AI model(1) developed by Fujitsu to judge the necessity of countermeasures against cyber-attacks, it was confirmed that
misjudgment of about 88% can be prevented in our own attack test data.

Samsung Research Member Awarded with Ministerial Award in Science
and ICT for Contribution to 5G Industry
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com

Researcher PARK Yongho, a member of the Samsung Research Standards Research Team, was awarded a Ministerial Award at the 5G Vertical Summit
2020, an event supervised by the Ministry of Science and ICT of Korea. The award recognized a member of the International Electrotechnical
Commission National Committee of Korea. His contributions include the development of evaluation guidelines for the effect of millimeter-wave
radiation on the human body and standardization work. In particular, 5G devices that utilize mmWave technology include highly advanced radio
frequency technologies, such as beamforming antennas. Because their conformance, effects on the human body, and the like had to be verified prior to
their release, the release of mmWave technology required greater investment in time and cost compared to conventional LTE technology. In mitigating
these delays, developing an effective method of verification through R&D was necessary. In 2009, Samsung Electronics became a member of the IEC,
an international organization that oversees the development of international standards related to the measurement of electromagnetic radiation. Since
joining the IEC, Samsung Electronics has contributed to the development of guidelines for evaluating the effects of mobile technology on the human
body, verification procedures for electromagnetic radiation regulations, the introduction of 5G technologies to the sample device used for the
evaluation of 5G wave effects on the human body and charge density, and proposals on new methods for the evaluation and supply of testing materials.
The entire developmental process took at least three years and, in longer estimates, five years to reach its conclusion.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec- tetuer Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Autodesk Acquires Spacemaker: Offers Architects AI-powered Generative Design to Explore Best Urban Design Options Autodesk, Inc. announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Spacemaker for $240 million net of cash. Based in Oslo, Norway, Spacemaker uses cloud-based, artificial intelligence (AI), and generative design to help architects, urban designers, and real estate developers make more informed early-stage design decisions faster and enables improved opportunities for sustainability from the start. By evaluating the best options from the outset, Spacemaker helps architects maximize their clients’ long-term property investments. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during Autodesk’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, ending January 31, 2021. The acquisition of Spacemaker provides Autodesk with a powerful platform to drive modern, user-centric automation – powered by AI – and accelerate outcome-based design capabilities for architects. With Spacemaker, design professionals can rapidly create and evaluate options for a building or urban development. With AI as a partner to the architect, the Spacemaker platform enables users to quickly generate, optimize, and iterate on design alternatives, all while considering design criteria and data like terrain, maps, wind, lighting, traffic, zoning, etc. Spacemaker quickly returns design alternatives optimized for the full potential of the site. This leads to better outcomes from the start and allows designers to focus on the creative part of their professional work. Executive Commentary "Spacemaker is a lesson in the power of insights and automation, giving designers the ability to create and test urban design ideas in minutes," says CEO and President of Autodesk. "With two billion more people expected to call our planet home by 2050, speed of design and sustainability in urban planning must be priorities. Spacemaker technology offers a fundamental shift in how we imagine and build cities to keep people and the planet healthy." For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com Description 1
  • 7. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec- tetuer Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Ericsson completes acquisition of Cradlepoint Ericsson has completed its acquisition of Cradlepoint, the US-based market leader in Wireless WAN Edge 4G and 5G solutions for the enterprise market. The investment is key to Ericsson’s ongoing strategy of capturing market share in the rapidly expanding 5G enterprise space. Closing of the acquisition follows the announcement on September 18, 2020 of Ericsson’s intention to acquire Cradlepoint. At closing, a consideration of around USD 1 b. was paid using Ericsson’s cash-in-hand. Cradlepoint’s sales for 2019 were SEK 1.2 b. with a gross margin of 61%. Ericsson’s operating margins are expected to be negatively impacted by approximately 1% in 2021 and 2022 - where half is related to amortization of intangible assets arising from the acquisition. Cradlepoint is expected to contribute to operating cash-flow starting in 2022. Through Cradlepoint’s solutions, companies can connect sites, vehicles, mobile workforces, and IoT devices in a simple and secure way using cellular technology. By leveraging the combined offering, Ericsson will be able to create valuable new revenue streams for its customers by supporting 5G-enabled services for enterprise, and boost returns on investments in the network. Ericsson’s global presence and long-standing relationships with the world’s leading service providers will also help accelerate Cradlepoint’s international expansion. Cradlepoint will operate as a stand-alone subsidiary within Ericsson and continue to build on the current market momentum as 5G is speeding up digital transformation and increasing the need for advanced connectivity services for enterprises. Cradlepoint will be part of Ericsson’s Business Area Technologies & New Businesses. Executive Commentary Senior Vice President and Head of Business Area Technologies & New Businesses, says: "I am very excited to welcome Cradlepoint to the Ericsson family. With Cradlepoint’s market leading solutions, we are strengthening our enterprise offering and taking an important step to lead the next wave of enterprise network transformation. Together, we will power solutions to the customer edge that help improve productivity and deliver real-time services, enabling us to drive faster adoption of 5G in enterprise segments. This is good news for our customers as it helps them to accelerate their returns on 5G investments.” For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com Description 2

SigOpt’s AI software technologies deliver productivity and performance gains across hardware and software parameters, use cases and workloads in deep learning, machine learning and data analytics.

SigOpt’s software technologies will continue to be available to data scientists and developers to enable better productivity and performance in solving real-life use cases and drive business value for customers. Executive Commentary “In the new intelligence era, AI is driving the compute needs of the future. It is even more important for software to automatically extract the best compute performance while scaling AI models. SigOpt’s AI software platform and data science talent will augment Intel software, architecture, product offerings and teams, and provide us with valuable customer insights.

  • 9. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec- tetuer Financial, M&A Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Marvell Snags Inphi in $10B Acquisition Marvell announced it will acquire rival chipmaker Inphi for roughly $10 billion in cash and stock options. The announcement marks the second high-profile semiconductor acquisition of the week, following AMD ‘s $35 billion purchase of Xilinx. As part of the deal, which already received approval from both company’s boards of directors, Marvell plans to reorganize the combined company into a single U.S.-based chip giant. Once combined, Marvell boasts the company will represent nearly $40 billion in market value and cover an addressable market worth more than $20 billion a year. Inphi is a U.S.-based chipmaker specializing in optoelectrical interconnects, commonly used in cloud data centers, where the company can provide up to 800 Gb/s of throughput. With workloads becoming increasingly distributed across cloud-data centers, higher-speed interconnects become necessary to satiate bandwidth demands, Marvell claims. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2021 subject to regulatory approval. Inphi CEO Ford Tamer will join Marvell’s Board of Directs alongside much of the company’s talent. Executive Commentary “I couldn’t be more excited about this combination, and I believe it will be as transformational for Marvell in the cloud market as Cavium was for us in the 5G market,” said Marvell CEO on an investor call this morning. Marvel’s vision is to move, store, process, and secure the world’s data faster and more reliably than anyone else, and this acquisition significantly accelerates the move element of our vision, , referencing Inphi’s optoelectrical interconnect technologies, which he called highly complementary to the company’s existing physical layer (PHY) portfolio.

The technology protects against attempts to use forged attack data to trick AI models into making a deliberate misjudgment when AI is used for sequential data consisting of multiple elements. With the use of AI technologies progressing in various fields in recent years, the risk of attacks that intentionally interfere with AI's ability to make correct judgements represents a source of growing concern. Many suitable conventional security resistance enhancement technologies exist for media data like images and sound. Their application to sequential data such as communication logs and service usage history remains insufficient, however, because of the challenges posed by preparing simulated attack data and the loss of accuracy. To overcome these challenges, Fujitsu has developed a robustness enhancement technology for AI models applicable to sequential data. This technology automatically generates a large amount of data simulating an attack and combines it with the original training data set to improve resistance to potential deception attacks while maintaining the accuracy of judgment. By applying this technology to an AI model(1) developed by Fujitsu to judge the necessity of countermeasures against cyber-attacks, it was confirmed that misjudgment of about 88% can be prevented in our own attack test data.

This unique solution works on Nokia’s existing next-generation PON hardware, such as access nodes and line cards, to offer truly universal PON capabilities and enable communications service providers to supercharge their networks and enhance fiber network usage. Nokia is the first vendor to commercialize an end-to-end solution for 25G PON. Designed for simplicity and cost-efficiency, the solution is based on Nokia’s Quillion chipset and existing next-generation PON access platform and line cards. The superior bandwidth and low-latency performance of the Nokia solution - enabled by the purpose built Quillion chipset family - means it can support 5G mobile transport as well as true 10G service for enterprises. All Nokia customers with 10 Gbps Quillion boards will also have 25 Gbps capabilities in their network. Nokia 25G PON can co-exist with GPON and XGS-PON on the same infrastructure, allowing CSPs to add 25 Gbps in overlay without disrupting existing customer services. This will allow them to add 25G PON quickly and efficiently when and where needed to capitalize on new opportunities. 25G PON is a key technology that will enable fiber to become the single infrastructure that underpins the entire telecom industry and to deliver any service to any end point. It is also the best next step for PON: it leverages the high volumes and mature eco-system of data center optical technologies to achieve the best cost point, huge capacity, fastest time-to-market, and simplest evolution path compared to 50G PON, which will require a massive technology leap or long time to mature.

  • 59. R & R Updates IT Shades Engage & Enable Samsung Research Member Awarded with Ministerial Award in Science and ICT for Contribution to 5G Industry For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com 52 Researcher PARK Yongho, a member of the Samsung Research Standards Research Team, was awarded a Ministerial Award at the 5G Vertical Summit 2020, an event supervised by the Ministry of Science and ICT of Korea. The award recognized a member of the International Electrotechnical Commission National Committee of Korea. His contributions include the development of evaluation guidelines for the effect of millimeter-wave radiation on the human body and standardization work. In particular, 5G devices that utilize mmWave technology include highly advanced radio frequency technologies, such as beamforming antennas. Because their conformance, effects on the human body, and the like had to be verified prior to their release, the release of mmWave technology required greater investment in time and cost compared to conventional LTE technology. In mitigating these delays, developing an effective method of verification through R&D was necessary. In 2009, Samsung Electronics became a member of the IEC, an international organization that oversees the development of international standards related to the measurement of electromagnetic radiation. Since joining the IEC, Samsung Electronics has contributed to the development of guidelines for evaluating the effects of mobile technology on the human body, verification procedures for electromagnetic radiation regulations, the introduction of 5G technologies to the sample device used for the evaluation of 5G wave effects on the human body and charge density, and proposals on new methods for the evaluation and supply of testing materials. The entire developmental process took at least three years and, in longer estimates, five years to reach its conclusion. R&R Description
