HP and Huawei sign license-sharing agreement on Wi-Fi tech - but won't reveal what they're working on

HP and Huawei enter patent-sharing deal, with Huawei's Wi-Fi 7 patents central to the deal
Huawei is still under the microscope by the US Department of Commerce
The companies have had a previous run-in about Wi-Fi patents

Huawei has confirmed a multi-year global patent cross-licensing agreement with HP in relation to its Wi-Fi technology, ultimately granting the latter permission to use certain Huawei Wi-Fi patents. In return, Huawei will also receive rights to some of HP's patents.

Central to the agreement is Huawei's Wi-Fi portfolio, including Wi-Fi 7 technology, however neither company has actually disclosed the exact patents that are covered. Further details, like the financial terms or the deal's duration, are also under wraps.

The deal is of great geopolitical significance, with California-based HP striking up a deal with Shenzhen-based Huawei – a Chinese company that remains on the US Department of Commerce's Entity List.

But its success has created an unintended problem. Organizations increasingly treat successful authentication as proof of identity. They assume that because someone passed MFA, they have verified

Sonic micro-robots burst into motion without batteries or motors

Nowadays, technology is increasingly focused on making electronics smaller, as many industries – from medicine to aerospace and security – stand to benefit. But reducing the size of devices brings a new challenge: what if they become simply too small to fit a conventional battery, motor, and other mechanical parts? Recently, we’

Mid-Week Meltdown - what this wordcel thinks about AI watermarking

The pen is mightier than the sword. Apparently, Shakespeare didn’t say that, Edward Bulwer-Lytton did — perhaps updating the Great Bard’s rather less accessible claim in Hamlet that “many wearing rapiers are afraid of goose-quills.” And how do I know that my seemingly confident cultural touchpoint was incorrect? Because
