Corning exec cautions against thinking too short term and not thinking big enough when it comes to Wi-Fi and 5G Corning's VP of Wireless Solutions and Product Line Management Michelle Engarto spoke with RCR Wireless News about some of the things to consider when designing and deploying...

UK IoT networking company Wyld Networks has launched a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi based mesh solution to connect sundry consumer and enterprise devices together as a mechanism for localised content marketing, access control, and social distancing. The firm said its new Wyld Mesh and Wyld Fusion...

The biggest draw of Wi-Fi 6E is that these new, wider channels will allow for clean access While Wi-Fi 6, or 802.11ax, made headlines for offering faster speeds and improved capacity thanks to features like the use of OFDMA and multi-user MIMO, Wi-Fi 6E refers to...

A single connectivity technology will suffice for certain IoT applications, but the real magic is being realised when two or more complementary IoT technologies combine. Increasingly, solution providers are looking to make multi-mode connectivity a springboard for more complex and ambitious IoT solutions. This webinar...

Wi-Fi is arguably the most ground-breaking wireless technology of our time. From the first public Wi-Fi hotspots in the early 2000s which enabled radically increased productivity on the move, through to the role Wi-Fi is has in today’s pandemic environment, keeping us all connected...

Short-range wireless technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), notably, are suited for widespread sensor networks for monitoring all sorts of processes. The chips are cheap and robust, their battery life is excellent, and it is easy to link them together into networks. Plus, the...

The new 6 GHz spectrum opportunity more than doubles the airspace available for Wi-Fi and that is just the beginning. Technology implementation of Wi-Fi 6 in the 6 GHz band (dubbed Wi-Fi 6E) across mobile and networking products are of critical importance to transition...

Wi-Fi 6E will deliver 1020 MHz of additional spectrum Wi-Fi 6E is still awaiting regulatory approval in Europe and some other regions around the world; however, in the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission voted to open up the 6 GHz spectrum for unlicensed Wi-Fi use...

The developer community working with LoRa-based IoT solutions took stock of Semtech’s new LR1110 module at a virtual meet-up last month, and declared it a “pretty unique piece of silicon”. The LR1110 is the latest in a flurry of dual-mode silicon that appears to...

  With the recent FCC announcement to make the 6 GHz band available for unlicensed use, it is important to understand the significance of this event. This decision carves out 1.2 GHz of contiguous spectrum (5.925 – 7.125 GHz) and represents the largest amount of...

A consortium of 16 industrial companies and research institutions have combined in a €9.5 million project to set out the “groundwork” for truck platooning with autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, as the primary use case to establish usage of 5G and Wi-Fi in intelligent transport...

The first quarter was a mixed bag for Comcast, which saw notable gains in its broadband and wireless services, while its theme parks, television and film production all have been largely shut down under shelter-in-place rules and that had a steep impact on profits. Company...
