How do 5G eMBB and FWA data services compare?
Fixed-wireless access is a special use case of enhanced mobile broadband, one of the three use cases specified for 5G. FWA brings different challenges for deployment than eMBB.
Addressing demand for advanced data acquisition for precise condition monitoring
TE Connectivity has added two new wireless pressure sensors to its portfolio: a 65xxN wireless pressure sensor, for short-range coverage, and 69xxN wireless pressure sensor, for long-range coverage. Designed for periodic condition monitoring, the 65xxN wireless pressure sensor leverages BLE (Bluetooth low energy) 5.3 communications, to support localized data collection and transmission. Given the widespread presence of Bluetooth in […]
Ultra-low phase noise OXCO designed for high performance satellite timing
Q-Tech Corporation introduces an advanced oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) Series for New Space applications. Designed by the company’s German affiliate, AXTAL, the AXIOM75Sx Series features both ultra-low phase noise (close-in and noise floor) and the radiation hardness required for high-performance low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite timing and frequency generation applications. Available for the frequencies of 10MHz (AXIOM75SL) […]
Integrated AMR sensor replaced reed switches and Hall effect sensors
Taiwan Semiconductor announces a new fully integrated Anisotropic Magneto Resistance (AMR) sensor that replaces reed switches and hall effect sensors in industrial applications. The TSHA2101 is an integrated system-on-chip (SIP) requiring little to no added circuitry. Its omni-polar design automatically detects a horizontal magnetic field of either polarity. When positioned to detect a magnet located on […]
