Targeted at IoT applications, the reduced-capability in 5G will support a wide range of devices and applications that don’t need high speed, but do need low latency and high-reliability. 5G’s real promise comes not from mobile phones, but from industrial and business applications where network operators hope to recover the huge investments they’ve made in…
Private 5G: What is it? How does it work?
Private networks, whether operated by users or by wireless carriers, requires radios, addressing, timing, and automation to make them run.
Baseband modem IP supports handsets, IoT, FWA with less power
CEVA’s PentaG2 baseband modem IP provides accelerated 4G/5G processing between RF circuits and Layer 2.
Lightning arresters keep outdoor antennas safe
Linx Technologie is introducing a series of lightning arresters for outdoor networking applications. The new Linx lightning arresters are well suited for LPWA (Helium, LoRaWan), public safety, Internet of Things (IoT), cellular vehicle to infrastructure (C-V2I), cellular IoT, 5G, LTE, and WiFi applications were protecting your equipment from the potential dangers of lightning is essential.…
Flexible connectivity lets IoT flourish
Designers have choices when it comes to creating new IoT designs, and connectivity choices will depend on the constraints of the design.
2022: The 5G predictions
Several standouts for 2022 reached our editorial offices. We present them here. As one year ends and another begins, so come the predictions. Over the past two years, we’ve seen how predicting the upcoming year is harder than ever. That doesn’t stop anyone from trying, though. How many of us throught we’ve still be dealing…
5G IoT cellular module covers North America
The Fibocom FM160-NA adds 5G, 4G, and 3G wireless connectivity to IoT devices.
6G Symposium emphasizes business and technology
The latest symposium took a turn toward business use cases at the expense of the usual technical talks, with speakers saying that use cases should drive the technology. Through most of 5G’s development, conference topics generally focused on the technologies such as the radio and network technologies. With much of that settled, talk moved to…
5G and AIoT will need new semiconductor materials
Technologies such as gate-all-around FETs and neuromorphic analog memory will increase speed and reduce power consumption in the chiplets that control artificial intelligence of things devices and systems. While 5G provides improved speed to consumers, it’s the industrial, automotive, infrastructure, and IoT applications that make 5G stand out. These applications will need IoT devices that…
Private networks need engineering creativity
LTE and 5G private networks are not yet plug-and-play. They still need the engineering touch to solve business problems, said Cradlepoint’s Todd Krautkremer and Donna Johnson.
