Upper mid-band frequencies, above 100 GHz frequencies, and integrated sensing are some of the projects that could find their way into cellular networks. At the 2023 NYU Brooklyn 6G Summit, EE world met with Prof. Sundeep Rangan, associate director of NYU Wireless and Peter Vetter, president of core research at Nokia Bell Labs to discuss…
6G conference exhibits demonstrate possible technologies
At the 6G Symposium and 6G Summit, attendees saw the latest research that could lead to the next generation of wireless.
Open RAN: Interoperability is not plug-and-play
EE World spoke with Adam Smith of LitePoint about the progress and challenges of Open RAN interoperability and testing.
6G Symposium: The discussions continue
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…
Internal antenna transmits and receives UWB signals
The NanoUWB planar monopole antenna from Laird Connectivity adds UWB to consumer and IoT devices that need precise location data.
Signal generator tests 5G FR1, LTE, Wi-Fi components and systems
Designed for bench and production use, the N5186A generates wireless signals to 3 GHz, 6 GHz or 8.5 GHz depending on model. Designing commercial or military wireless receivers, amplifiers, and systems means you’ll need to generate test signals. Keysight’s N5186A MXG vector-signal generator (datasheet) is available in one-channel or four-channel models with Type-N connectors. Each…
When battery life rules, turn off 5G
The data is clear. My phone’s battery charge life looks better with 5G turned off.
The first non-cellular 5G standard: DECT NR+
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…
Renesas agrees to acquire Sequans
The acquisition widens the Renesas product line of IoT wireless connectivity modules and adds the chips that go into them.
Partnership brings iSIM connectivity to IoT modules
Companies from semiconductors to software have partnered to ease the pain for cellular connectivity for IoT design engineers. Engineers designing IoT devices need to focus on the hardware and software for their device’s applications such as smart meters, logistics tracking devices, and so on. For many designers, connectivity is not their area of expertise. Soracom,…
