Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced certification of its RFPro electromagnetic (EM) design software, part of the Keysight EDA Advanced Design System (ADS), for Intel 14A and Intel 18A-P process technologies. The certification gives radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and mixed-signal designers confidence that their electromagnetic simulations accurately reflect Intel Foundry’s latest manufacturing processes before chips move to production. As semiconductor manufacturers introduce increasingly advanced process technologies, design teams face growing pressure to shorten development cycles while avoiding costly design errors. Certified simulation software enables engineers to identify and resolve performance issues before manufacturing begins, helping reduce development risk, avoid expensive chip redesigns and accelerate time to market. A mismatch between EM and circuit behavior that surfaces only after tape-out means an expensive re-spin, so simulation tools must be validated on a node before design work begins. Keysight’s certification gives teams that path as Intel Foundry delivers on its roadmap from Intel 18A into

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that they have extended their longstanding collaboration for a further 5 years. Through this renewed agreement, Ryanair will continue to leverage AWS’s cloud computing and AI technologies, including Amazon Quick, Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, across its business, from powering Europe’s largest airline website and optimising schedules across its fleet of 647 aircraft and 3,900 daily flights, to enhancing operational efficiency through advanced AI tools, digitalising pilot workflows, and supporting employees with innovative apps that improve productivity, communication, and access to real-time information. Ryanair and AWS will build on this momentum and continue to raise the digital innovation bar in aviation using advanced technologies such as agentic AI. Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson, said: “In addition to our unrivalled low fares, operational performance, and network, Ryanair also leads the air travel industry in digital transformation. AWS has been a key partner in
