5G/6G

The European Space Agency and the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science have acknowledged GateHouse SatCom. They have granted funding to develop software for coming Narrow Band IoT network based in space, offering 5G connectivity in regions with limited coverage. GateHouse SatCom already has the first few customers within the nanosatellite and telecommunications sector.

Renesas Electronics has expanded its communication timing portfolio with three new low phase noise, high frequency RF timing solutions for 4G and 5G radio, and two new combinations to address the need for full signal chain solutions. The new 8V19N850 radio synchroniser and 8V19N880, 8V19N882 JESD204B/C clock jitter attenuators deliver ITU-T compliant network clock synchronisation, phase noise, and high clock frequency.

To meet the anticipated future connectivity demands of such a growing market, GateHouse SatCom and Addvalue Innovation have announced that they will jointly develop a 5G NB-IoT satellite communication terminal (‘5G NB-IoT Satcom Terminal’) for collaboration with companies that aspire to take advantages of the fast-growing 5G satellite systems.

UNISOC and Ericsson have successfully completed the 5G SA NR 700MHz downlink 4x4 MIMO test compliant with 3GPP R15 specifications. The latest Interoperability Development Testing (IoDT) was carried out at Ericsson Beijing Lab on Ericsson's 700MHz 4T4R wireless network and 5G Customer Premise Equipment with UNISOC's 5G chipset V510 inside.

With 5G rolling in, telecom operators are bracing themselves for an explosion of incoming data. Telcos will either thrive or be left behind based on their ability to translate 5G data into business value.

AccelerComm has announced that it is supercharging 5G NR with cutting edge Physical Layer IP which increases spectral efficiency and reduces latency. The company today announced a complete high-performance 5G NR PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) Decoder and PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) Encoder for customers who want to maximise the efficacy of their 5G radio network.

A new line of programmable RF attenuation systems from JFW are designed to meet the needs of 5G and Wi-Fi 6E test labs and allow for easy test automation.

5G test solutions developed by Keysight Technologies have been used to establish the industry’s first 5G new radio (NR) data connection based on 3GPP Release 16 specifications (Rel-16).

Altran, part of Capgemini, and Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, have announced a collaboration to provide network operators with intelligent automation solutions. This collaboration will support operators that are grappling with increasingly complex requirements across physical and virtual domains driven by 5G, cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT).

NTT DOCOMO and East Japan Railway Company (JR East) have jointly announced that they have verified the stable operation of important 5G communication capabilities, including handover between base stations and the transmission of high-definition video data, in trials conducted aboard JR East's ALFA-X Shinkansen test train running at 360km/h.
