5G is hot, keep your components and systems cool
5G’s antennas and the devices that drive them generate more heat than their LTE predecessors. That creates new cooling problems for wireless devices and systems. If you listen to and read the hype surrounding 5G, you’ll come away thinking that 5G is truly hot. That’s the marketing perspective. From an engineering design perspective, 5G is…
Analyst: 5G is all about the traffic
If you’ve been following 5G technical developments for the last few years, you probably know that 5G encompasses more than just faster download speeds. You may have heard about low latency (1 msec or less) and the applications that makes possible. Now, 5G is in deployment and the hype far exceeds reality. The hype, of…
Enabling the Internet of things: Understanding IoT Technologies
This white paper is the first in our Enabling IoT Series. It covers the technologies and standards that are being developed and deployed globally for a wide range of applications.
Wireless IoT Designs and the Evolution of RF Modules
RF modules have become a crucial element in the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) for a broad array of applications ranging from battery-operated IP security cameras to point-of-sale (PoS) scanners, and asset trackers to personal medical devices. At the same time, however, the IoT bandwagon is reinventing the RF design realm all over…
How Energy Harvesting Can Power Today’s IoT Applications
Although nascent technology is frequently met with healthy skepticism, innovations can make what was once magical into the mundane. Many of us may remember being enthralled by the magic phrase “Open sesame,” when we first heard the tales from the Arabian Nights as children. However, to the current generation of toddlers growing up with Alexa,…
