The BOREAL ISR drone, equipped with the SIMPULSE SL200 radio communication system, carried out a long-distance mission of more than 50 nautical miles (90km) located off the French Atlantic Ocean coast.

The new state-of-the-art UK Telecoms Lab based in Solihull will be the first of its kind in the UK. With funding of £80 million from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and under NPL’s leadership, it will boost the security, resilience and performance of the UK’s telecommunication networks, on which we are all increasingly dependent.

NXP Semiconductors has announced new devices designed to simplify the development of IoT and industrial IoT solutions.

The UK government is on a mission to level up the nation, improve living standards and fight regional inequality.

Telecoms specialist Salumanus has launched the QSP28 100G optical module, designed by its manufacturing line, GBC Photonics.

Keysight has announced the MP4300A Series Modular Solar Array Simulator (SAS) to emulate the behaviour of photovoltaic (PV) segments. The SAS solution simulates all conditions a craft or satellite will encounter in space with high fidelity. 

While embedded SIM cards (eSIMs) are still gaining traction, the next generation of subscriber identification module is coming to the fore. Integrated SIM, or iSIM, is the next step in the move away from physical SIM cards offering connectivity benefits for both consumer and IoT applications.

This week, at the 2022 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEEE IEDM 2022), imec, a global research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presents a Monte Carlo Boltzmann modelling framework that uses microscopic heat carrier distributions to predict 3D thermal transport in advanced RF devices intended for 5G and 6G wireless communication for the first time.

Fairview Microwave, an Infinite Electronics brand and provider of RF, microwave and millimetre-wave products, has released a series of waveguide frequency multipliers to address 5G, test-and-measurement, mobile and satellite communications, radar systems, research and development, and weather and earth observation applications.

AMD and Viettel High Tech (Member of Viettel Group) have announced the successful completion of a 5G mobile network field trial deployment conducted by Viettel and powered by AMD Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices.
