Armed with 802.11ac and 3 radios, NEXCOM's IWF 3432XR industrial Wi-Fi supports the mass proliferation of mobile devices and BYOD. Providing high-density connection of up to 384 concurrent devices and wireless speed of 1.3Gbps, the IWF 3432XR industrial Wi-Fi can meet the surging demand for increased mobile device access in both enterprise and industrial networks.

When paired with the company’s 2.4GHz low power RF solutions for ZigBee, 802.15.4, 6LoWPAN and Bluetooth low energy networks, the SimpleLink CC2592 range extender from TI provides up to a seven times improvement in range. The first launched pairing is the CC2592 with the SimpleLink ZigBee CC2538 wireless MCU to speed time to market of ZigBee-enabled equipment.

Delivering typical Psat of 25.5dBm for the 71-76 and 81-86GHz frequency ranges, M/A-COM Technology Solutions has claimed that the MAAP-011106 is the industry’s highest power, full E-Band power amplifier. Suited for small cell wireless backhaul infrastructure, it enables data rates of over 1Gb/s to accommodate surging data demand, particularly in densely populated metro environments.

CCS has published a whitepaper exploring the backhaul solutions that can support organic small cell network growth. Written by Senza Fili Consulting, the research offers an in-depth examination of the potential total cost of ownership to mobile network operators - due to the inevitable densification of mobile infrastructure - and a detailed overview of some of the backhaul solutions currently existing.

Broadcom introduce what they believe to be the industry's first 5G WiFi (802.11ac) 2x2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) SoC for smartphones. The Broadcom BCM4354 SoC will enable manufacturers to deliver twice the WiFi performance of 1x1 MIMO devices used in smartphones today while improving system power efficiency up to 25% when using wireless applications.

AEC-Q200 qualified laboratory sample kits have been announced by Vishay, for the company's high-stability thin film chip resistors. Aiding engineers in prototyping and speeding time to market, the TNPW0402 e3 (LTW0402 e3 96/4) and TNPW0603 e3 (LTW0603 e3 96/4) kits provide roughly 100 of the most popular resistance values in the TNPW0402 e3 and TNPW0603 e3 packages.

Suitable for supplying points, signal lamps and electronic monitoring of the rail net, MTM Power has introduced the HVC series 250W DC/DC converters for railway applications. The devices are available with an input range of 420-1100V dc (375-1125V dc for less than 2 seconds), isolation up to 8 kV ac and the standard output voltage of 24V dc.

A 40W quarter-brick DC/DC converter, from Murata Power Solutions, has been designed for wireless backhaul, smart grid, and a broad range of networking and other telecommunications applications. With a fixed 12 VDC / 20 A single output, the UWQ-12/20-T48 is DOSA compatible and occupies only 58.4 x 36.8 x 11.7mm. 

Enabling Quanta Computer to deliver high performance small cell solutions to the world's major network operators and service providers, Broadcom's integrated dual mode small cell SoCs have been selected to power the company's next generation Qcell LTE small cell solutions for enterprise and residential deployments.

Further enhancing the company's flexibility in addressing existing market requirements and encompassing future market need for higher-speed data, CML Microcircuits has released a major update on the CMX7164 Multi-mode Wireless Data Modem that includes the addition of 8-FSK Modulation.
