Teledyne LeCroy’s Voyager M4120 sets a new benchmark for USB protocol analysis with full support for USB4® Version 2.0

MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teledyne LeCroy Inc., the global leader in protocol test solutions, today announced the availability of the Voyager M4120 Protocol Analyzer/Exerciser, the world’s only solution supporting next-generation USB4® Gen 4 120Gb/s Asymmetric Link emulation and analysis. This new flagship system equips engineering teams with the visibility and capabilities needed to test, debug, analyze, and verify USB4 Gen 4 120Gb/s hosts and devices throughout the product development lifecycle. The all-new Voyager M4120 also provides numerous selectable views allowing the user to quickly and easily identify information of interest and resolve any issues that are contained in the data capture. 

The USB4 Version 2.0 specification introduces a revolutionary new feature in USB technology – Asymmetric Link configurations. In this configuration, the two directions of the connection operate at different lane rates. One direction transmits at the full 120Gb/s over three lanes while the opposite direction transmits a lower rate, such as 40Gb/s on just one lane. This enables systems and devices to dynamically provide more bandwidth for high-throughput applications, such as tunneled Ultra‑High Bit Rate (UHBR) DisplayPort 2.1 real-time video processing workloads.

“USB4 Version 2.0 represents a major step forward for the industry, delivering higher performance and more dynamic link behavior than previous generations,” said Jeff Ravencraft, President & COO of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). “Tools like the Voyager M4120 give developers the visibility they need to validate Asymmetric Link characteristics and ensure robust interoperability as these advanced capabilities enter the market.”

About the Voyager M4120 Protocol Analyzer

The Voyager M4120 is engineered from the ground up to capture and decode USB Gen 4 120Gb/s Asymmetric Links, fully supporting the USB4 Version 2.0 specification. The analyzer reveals what actually happens during Asymmetric Link bring up and operation—from how devices decide lane roles and rates to how links adapt dynamically under real workloads. Powerful software features, including a hierarchical display, protocol traffic summaries, detailed error reports and an automation API enable developers to quickly visualize protocol activity and streamline troubleshooting efforts. Built on a flexible architecture, the Voyager M4120 is designed to expand with emerging workflows, including asymmetric traffic generation and USB-IF compliance test capabilities as they become available, helping early adopters accelerate development and improve interoperability for the next wave of high speed USB4 connectivity. Fully backward compatible with legacy Gen 3, Gen 2 and Gen 1 USB links, the Voyager M4120 can seamlessly address the past, present, and future of USB protocol testing.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — “We wanted to create a secure box that would prevent access to copper wires along railroad tracks,” said one of three inventors, from Etiwanda, Calif., “so we invented the ANTI THEFT WIRE DEVICE. Our design deters copper wire theft, and it prevents delays and problems associated with missing signal wires.”

The invention provides an effective way to contain and protect copper wires on railroad tracks. In doing so, it prevents access to the wires. As a result, it helps prevent copper wire theft. It also helps maintain proper use of train traffic signals. The invention features a secure and protective design that is easy to install and use so it is ideal for the railroad industry.

The original design was submitted to the Los Angeles sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 25-LOS-634, InventHelp, 100 Beecham Drive, Suite 110, Pittsburgh, PA 15205-9801, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

THREADS program seeks to address temperature limitations in advanced RF electronics

NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BAE Systems’ (LON: BA) FAST Labs™ research, development and production organization has successfully completed Phase 1 of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Technologies for Heat Removal in Electronics at the Device Scale (THREADS) program and has been awarded continued support to move into Phase 2.

The THREADS program aims to overcome temperature limitations in high-performance radio frequency (RF) electronics, specifically in gallium nitride (GaN) devices. Overcoming these limitations will significantly increase the power and range of vital military systems.

“We look forward to advancing to Phase 2 of the THREADS program,” said Isaac Wildeson, principal investigator at BAE Systems’ FAST Labs. “The progress we’ve made during Phase 1 validates our approach to material and process enhancements and brings us closer to unlocking the full potential of RF-based systems for our warfighters.”

Successful thermal management developed through this program will nearly triple the range of RF systems, enhancing the safety and engagement distances for military personnel. BAE Systems’ work on THREADS is being conducted at its Microelectronics Center (MEC) in Nashua, New Hampshire, a DoW Category 1A Trusted Supplier, leveraging its established expertise in the development and manufacturing of advanced GaN and gallium arsenide integrated circuits.

To accelerate the development of this critical technology, BAE Systems’ work on the THREADS program includes collaboration with Modern Microsystems, Penn State University, Stanford University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Texas at Dallas.
