The 6G Symposium took place on October 18 and 19, 2023, in Washington, DC. This year, the talk was more about use cases, with less talk about sustainability than in the past. One week before the symposium, I heard two contrasting views on 5G given at a virtual conference. In the morning, Chris Pearson of…

Quectel has unveiled six new antennas designed to provide robust connectivity performance for IoT devices. The new antennas cover a wide range of use cases from 5G to non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) bringing new capabilities to customers. The Quectel YC0001CA is a 4G surface-mount design (SMD) antenna optimized for LTE, LTE-M, and Narrow Band-IoT (NB-IoT) networks.…

Officially known as DECT-2020 NR, the protocol brings 5G to smart devices over non-cellular networks. Learn more from a video interview with Jussi Numminen of Wirepas and vice-chair of the ETSI DECT technical committee. For several years, we’ve been hearing about the three points of 5G: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and…

Quectel Wireless Solutions announces the launch of an exciting line-up of antennas designed to meet a wide spectrum of requirements: YEMN926J1A: This state-of-the-art 9-in-1 5G screw mount combo antenna is at the forefront of technology. It offers superior performance for 5G networks and is designed with a screw mount for easy installation. YECW000N1A: This external…

The Taurus product portfolio from Sequans Communications includes chipsets for chip-on-board designs, carrier-certified modules in various form factors, and module reference designs for customized modules. Much of the talk over wireless 5G for IoT being about low data rates. Not every application, however, can benefit from that. Some applications need higher data throughput. The Taurus…

With private networks connecting to many IoT devices, testing the device’s user interface requires updating test processes. Many IoT use cases rely on private 5G networks because they offer greater network control, better security, more reliable performance, and dedicated coverage and capacity as opposed to using a public network. With these advantages, private networks play…

Millimeter wave signals provide wider bandwidths and higher data rates than signals at lower frequencies. Take a look at the overall signal chain that falls between the antenna and the digital baseband. 5G new radio (5G NR) adds mmWave frequencies to cellular devices and networks. With that comes RF-to-baseband signal chains and components not needed…

Fibocom Wireless Inc. to announce the launch of the leading-edge 5G Sub-6GHz and mmWave module Fx190(W)/Fx180(W) series at MWC Barcelona 2023. Adopting multiple innovations from the world’s first 5G Advanced-ready modem-RF system, Snapdragon X75, and X72, the modules are set to bring outstanding cellular performance to mass data transmission applications such as mobile broadband, FWA,…
