ARM and UBM Tech announced today the launch of a new digital magazine, Signum. Combining leading journalism with the latest multimedia technology, Signum goes far beyond traditional print. Multimedia, social media and mobile user interfaces are integrated on top of a magazine format that enables a deeper understanding of ARM design strategies, tools and products.

The goal of Signum is to educate and stimulate a broad audience from system and software engineers to tech savvy consumers. It will focus on the trends, strategies and products that are shaping the future of low-power, intelligent devices and how they will enhance consumer lifestyles.
The engineering community will benefit from the latest design strategies and techniques, while consumers will have access to content that aims to pique their interest and spur further exploration. All articles and many advertisements will have interactive functionality that launches supporting articles, podcasts, video, animated illustrations or presentations, enabling the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
The launch edition of Signum, available today, features the following stories:
