MIPI CSI-2 and A-PHY Specifications Updated
MIPI Alliance recently announced the adoption of MIPI A-PHY℠ v1.1 and MIPI CSI-2® v4.0, featuring key enhancements to these specifications.
Enhancements in MIPI A-PHY v1.1 include doubling of the downlink bandwidth to 32 Gbps, a faster uplink gear with an available data rate of up to 200 Mbps, and the addition of optional PAM4 encoding for downlink gears G1 and G2. Version 1.1 has also been submitted for adoption as an IEEE standard. Last year, IEEE adopted A-PHY v1.0 as IEEE 2977-2021. Read more about the latest version of MIPI A-PHY.
The new version of MIPI CSI-2 adds an advanced always-on imaging solution for ultra-low-power machine vision applications, multi-pixel compression for the latest generation of advanced image sensors and RAW28 color depth to provide unprecedented image quality and superior signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. Read more about the new features in MIPI CSI-2 v4.0.
INCREASED INTEROPERABILITY FOR SMART PARKING, TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
The TALQ Consortium has published a new version of the protocol. With the release of the Specification version 2.4.0 the evolution of the software protocol continues and several new profiles, like environmental monitoring, smart parking and traffic, have been included.

Rebuilding Trust: A Path Toward More Holistic Cybersecurity: An Internet Governance Forum Discussion
Author: Kristen Little, IEEE SA
Often, the general public thinks of cybersecurity as “IT security”, yet it covers much more than that. Data collection, transparency, trust, communication, and collaboration have become increasingly vital in a world exploding with ever more connected devices. IEEE addressed this topic during an Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2021 Lightning Talk session we hosted entitled “Rebuilding Trust: A Path Toward More Holistic Cybersecurity”. IGF was created as a forum in which to discuss public policy issues related to the internet, and this year’s IGF was attended by over 10,000 people from 175 countries.
