Aimed at private networks, the SC-RF4-5Gn78 Indoor 5G Small Cell Standalone gNodeB Reference Platform from CommAgility supports four 100 MHz channels with 4×4 MIMO.

At OFC 2022, OIF demonstrated products from several companies communicating with each other based on a standard for interoperable coherent optics. Other demonstrations included a 112 Gb/sec electrical link, flexible Ethernet, co-packaging, and a 224 Gb/sec technology proposal.

Featuring 15 articles, the 2022 5G Handbook looks at private networks, timing, connectivity, latency, mmWaves, test, and other topics.

Simulations and signal measurements can provide the insight you need to create a functional private network for industry and factory use. 3GPP Release 16 adds support for time-sensitive networking (TSN) integration and other enhancements that support ultra-reliable, low latency communications (URLLC). These enhancements pave the way for 5G private networks that could increase productivity, quality,…

The MAYA-W2 series from u-blox provide wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 radios.

The infrastructure needed to deliver cost effective, reliable, and secure timing throughout cellular networks needs proper architecture, design, and management. Tighter time accuracy demands for 5G networking equipment requires reliable and robust timing architectures that guarantee network performance.

Fairview Microwave Inc. has just released a new series of 5G outdoor-rated omnidirectional antennas that cover 4G, 5G, LTE, and CBRS bands. These small form factor omni antennas are the perfect solution when broad coverage is required but traditional base station antennas are too bulky or expensive. They support 6, 7, 8, and 10 dBi…

NYU brought its wireless symposium back to life, now called Brooklyn 6G. This 2½ hour virtual symposium focused on sustainability as the most important topic in next-generation networks.

The economics of manufacturing test directly affect how you plan for the right number of test stations and test sites. Adding mmWave testing makes the difference.

The Pharoah antenna from Antenova covers popular LTE frequencies while producing signals in a small ground plane.
