At the 6G Symposium and 6G Summit, attendees saw the latest research that could lead to the next generation of wireless.

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…

Kyocera has begun mass production of products certified by IC manufacturers and suitable for smartphones compatible with 5G millimeter-wave ultra-high-speed communications, which will be increasingly in demand. Low ESR and stable temperature characteristics are achieved using Kyocera’s outstanding photolithography and plasma CVM technology developed in collaboration with Osaka University (see details here). Available in 76.8MHz, Qualcomm Technologies’ Chipset…

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…

As Open RAN deployments gather pace and accurate timing, synchronization has emerged as a critical step toward consistent performance. It is a complex task, with devices requiring time synchronization to UTC reference via IEEE PTP/SyncE-based boundary clocks, slave clocks, PRTC clocks with GNSS receivers, as well as accurate, real-time monitoring in support of customer SLAs.…

Through photos and videos, EE World covers some of the active and passive components that RF and wireless engineers need to connect us all.

The Apollo MxFE software-defined signal processing SoC from Analog Devices digitizes and generates analog signals with DSP in between. Applications cover aerospace & defense, instrumentation, and wireless communications.

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…

Our 2023 5G, Wired, & Wireless Handbook is now available in ebook form. Download your copy today. It started on a cold January day with an editorial call. A month later, the abstracts came in. After another month, the manuscripts came in. Then came the editing and some back-and-forth with the authors. Next, it was…

The RM126x series from Laird Connectivity integrate a processor and radio that connect IoT devices for data transfer.
