EdgeQ is sampling what it calls a “base station on a chip” that handles high-PHY through baseband
Wi-Fi 6 RF front ends combine functions
The low-power QFP4526 and high-power QFP4568 bring switches, filters, and amplifiers to Wi-Fi 8 (802.11ax) designs. Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) access points, routers, gateways, customer-premise devices, and IoT devices need amplifiers to boost signal power to its final levels. The QFP4526 and QFP4568 front-end modules from Qorvo operate at 3.7 V and 5 V power…
EM simulation is crucial to 5G wireless design
5G Technology World spoke with Jonathan Oakley of Dassault Systemes on how the company’s electromagnetic simulation software helps engineers design and evaluate antennas for smartphones and IoT devices.
Video: Rakuten’s acquisition of Altiostar
The Open RAN software vendor is now part of the Japanese mobile network operator. 5G Technology World interviewed Altiostar’s Thierry Maupile about how the company will operate from now on.
Benchmarking in 5G: More important than ever
From chipsets to network equipment to full-scale networks, benchmarking of communications products sets the bar for performance.
Test cables cover 5G mmWave frequencies
The Clarity 70 operates at up to 70 GHz, covering 5G mmWave measurements.
How Open RAN provides a secure wireless network
Keeping Open RAN software secure means containerizing functions, securing each container, and securing the entire software design.
Interview: Lower fiber losses mean fewer errors
Corning’s Roshene McCool explains how the SMF-28 Contour fiber reduces light losses, installation costs, and operating costs in fiber connections for 5G, computing, and datacenters.
Open RAN: Radios play a vital role
In a video interview, Fujitsu’s Femi Adeyemi talks with 5G Technology world about the company’s 5G radios and the Telecom Infrastructure Project. While most of the 5G talk surrounding Open RAN focuses on the digital baseband, those digital data streams come from and go to the radio. Fujitsu Network Communications has developed two 5G radios…
Timing IC combines functions for Open RAN
Microchip’s ZL30735 integrates eight DPLLs, five low-output jitter synthesizers, and an IEEE 1588-2008 protocol stack. The splitting of radio access network functions creates an Open RAN that promises greater innovation and features in 5G networks. Splitting the traditional baseband unit into radio units (RU), distribution units (DU) and centralized units (CU) brings timing issues not…
