5G is bringing higher bandwidth to mobile users, which pushes more data on the optical networks. Optical networks need greater capacity and more flexibility. Every mobile phone user expects 5G to let them download movies faster and more reliably than LTE networks. Plus, 5G will open the door to new use cases we haven’t conceived…
COVID-19 forces three-month delay in 3GPP releases
3GPP the standards body for wireless standards, has delayed the adoption of the next two releases (Release 16 and Release 17) each by three months. The delay is in response to the COVID-19 virus. 3GPP Release 16 stage 3 freezing will now occur in June 2020 while Release 17 will now be frozen in June…
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 now cooling problems for wireless devices and systems. If you listen to and read all 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…
OFC plenary: 5G will drive optical
China Telecom’s Qi Bi told optical engineers how 5G will change their lives, and ours. 5G is more than wireless. Included in the 5G chain is fiber, lots of it. After all, how will all those mmWave small cells connect to the wired network? Thus, 5G should keep optical engineers busy for years, but only…
Gateway ICs let automotive MCUs communicate
The Smart Gateway Platform (SGP) from STMicroelectronics provides a valuable development tool for prototyping automotive Smart-Gateway and Domain-Controller applications. The evolution of automotive architectures to include high throughput in-vehicle networking and high data-rate connectivity to the cloud has increased demand for high-performance Smart-Gateway and Domain-Controller Electronic Control Units (ECUs). ST’s modular Smart-Gateway Platform (SGP), built […]
PC meets mil standards for critical shielding applications
Equipto Electronics new TEMPEST PC concept allows customers to choose an up-to-date ATX motherboard, or an HP or Dell i7 PC repackaged for the ultimate in secure operation. The system delivered will be certified to the strictest standard in the industry for devices operating in NATO Zone 0 environment, the NATO SDIP-27 Level A. And because […]
Record and analyze signals to 26.5 GHz
The Tektronix RSA7100B wideband RF signal analyzer and streaming recorder lets engineers working on wideband designs in communications, radar, and electronic warfare capture and analyze signal in the frequency domain. It provides more than 2.5 hours of streaming RF storage with 800-MHz real-time bandwidth. Its 16 kHz to 26.5 GHz frequency range covers a broad…
Pasternack expands mmWave antenna line
RF component manufacturer Pasternack has added some 54 models to its line of mmWave antennas for 5G and other applications. Additions include five new categories of high frequency waveguide antennas are now available to address point-to-point and point-to-multi-point wireless applications, including Probe Waveguide Antennas to 170 GHz with 6.5 dBi of gain Dual Polarized Waveguide…
Sub-6 GHz and mmWave: It depends on location
Engineers are building 5G into Wi-Fi and IoT devices. Frequencies used depend not only on country, but location within a country. As 5G moves into deployment, engineers are designing it into new products. Some are now beginning to appear on the market and many more will follow. Analog Devices has been leading the way with…
Report: 5G can’t fall back to LTE
A report by Information Gatekeepers (IGI Group) says that the two largest U.S. carriers are not spending enough on 5G rollout. That’s what author Clifford Holliday told 5G Technology World. In Analyst: 5G is all about the traffic, telecom industry analyst Clifford Holliday explained how 5G must acquire the traffic from 4G LTE because LTE…
