5G/6G

Design and sales support for a series of surface mount couplers from RN2 have been announced by distributor RFMW.

MediaTek has announced the commercial availability of its MT3729 product family of 800GbE (Dual 400GbE) MACsec retimer PHYs designed for the high-speed and ultra-low power data transmissions needs of data centers and 5G infrastructure applications, in addition to the stringent security requirements of these applications.

A 5G network provides much more than just increased bandwidth and speed - 5G provides the opportunity to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) technology to bring the much-discussed Internet of Things (IoT) out of the laboratory and into the real world. To give people from all walks of life a better understanding of 5G networks, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) held the Tech Trends Symposium 2020 - The Future of Intelligent Connectiv...

Keysight Technologies’ 5G test solutions have been selected by SK Telecom to validate that 5G devices used for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) applications perform as intended on the mobile operator's network prior to commercial introduction.

This is a 4-part blog series on the main challenges facing 5G deployments and how you can solve them with the right tools. Part 1 focuses on building complex networks, part 2 is about keeping costs low, this post covers infrastructure requirements, and part 4 explains the need to address new security issues. Guest blog written by Paul Miller.

A test instrument for 400G networks has been unveiled by Anritsu. The Network Master Pro MT1040A is a battery-powered tester with directly mounted QFSP-DD optical modules.

Mavenir has selected Keysight Technologies’ 5G user equipment emulation (UEE) solutions to accelerate the development of software for 5G radio access network (RAN) and 5G core (5GC) platforms.

Delta has launched a digital exhibition under the theme ´Pioneering Energy-efficient Infrastructure Technologies´ to unveil new smart and energy-efficient solutions for 5G and IoT edge computing, e-mobility, as well as smart manufacturing.

As mentioned in part 1 of this blog series, 5G will require the deployment of significantly more hardware to increase density and meet network coverage requirements. As one might imagine, adding 20X or more pieces of hardware to a network generates significant operating expenses (OpEx). Guest blog written by Paul Miller.

The market for 5G is expected to be over $72bn by 2030, with large scale roll-out of infrastructures and rapid adoption of 5G devices and services. Many characteristic benefits promised by 5G will operate at high frequency (above 26GHz), i.e. mmWave 5G. Such high frequency requires new materials and different device design.
