cusses with Ryan
Bonner of DEFCERT
exactly where EMS
companies should
aim for CMMC certi-
fication and how to

omies where they assume that either
CMMC is a go or it's not happening at all."

Motorola and
IBM introduced a
novel package that
allowed a high num-
ber of input and out-
puts with a large
pitch in a small area,
thus providing large savings in board real-estate. The
