The Houthi rebels in Yemen warned that the airport remained a target for their military strikes and that aircraft and personnel should avoid it. King Khalid International Airport was attacked multiple times in the latest round of conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, the most serious attack occurring on October 10, resulting in 13 deaths and over 300 injuries—the deadliest attack Saudi Arabia has suffered in over a decade. The airport was subsequently closed.On October 25th, CETC Instruments stated at its earnings conference on October 24th that the company has been continuously developing its PCB testing capabilities, previously focusing primarily on R&D or the R&D process of PCB manufacturers. To address the demand for efficient automated testing on mass production lines, the company is developing automated testing solutions for PCB production lines, extending its capabilities from R&D to the mass production industry. During the Shenzhen Semiconductor Exhibition, the company will release a new, higher-frequency, higher-quality vector network analyzer and a series of testing solutions, including PCB testing solutions. Currently, revenue from PCB testing directly used in the industrial sector accounts for a relatively small percentage. High-speed automated PCB testing requires not only the companys own VNA products and software algorithms but also external capabilities such as test bases. The company needs to work with partners to further develop these technologies. PCB testing mainly covers indicators such as insertion loss, impedance, and dielectric constant. With the evolution of high-speed transmission towards 112G and 224G, the demand for related testing continues, and the current sample verification results are generally in line with expectations.

People familiar with the subject told Reuters that chipmaker Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) Inc is in talks to acquire cloud service provider VMware (NYSE:VMW) Inc.


According to the sources, negotiations between Broadcom and VMware are ongoing and a deal is not imminent. The terms of the proposed transaction could not be discovered.


The acquisition will diversify Broadcom's business away from semiconductors and into enterprise software, following its $18.9 billion acquisition of CA Technologies and its $10.7 billion acquisition of Symantec (NASDAQ:NLOK) Corp's security division over the past four years.


The deal was initially revealed by Bloomberg News on Sunday night. Broadcom and VMware did not reply immediately to requests for comment from Reuters. As of market closure on Friday, VMware had a market capitalization of $40.3 billion.


According to Refinitiv statistics, Michael Dell is VMware's largest investor with a 40 percent ownership as a result of Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) Inc spinning off VMWare to its shareholders last year.


Silver Lake, a private equity firm that has previously invested in Broadcom, is VMware's second largest stakeholder with a 10 percent stake, according to Refinitiv data.
