FWA can deliver higher data rates, but consumer adoption is dependent on a CPE device's performance
At the recent Test and Measurement Forum, LitePoint’s Product Manager Khushboo Kalyani gave a presentation outlining some of the value propositions of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) for both the...
Do you remember your first mobile phone? It may have been an old-school flip phone or one of those that had the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The world’s first modern smartphone was launched in 1994 in the US and was called IBM Simon. It is...
The shift to cloud-native and disaggregated 5G networks has enormous implications for testing, validating and verification. Operators wanted a software-centric environment for agility—now that they're getting it, what does that mean for service reliability and continuity? What testing is critical in disaggregation and edge...
Even though most consumers are largely unaware of the unique elements in the 5G technology stack, the antenna in package (AiP) module inside the 5G smartphone is a prime enabler of mmWave technology — and is likewise the small but mighty force behind the...
With today's global migration to 5G, mobile wireless communication is undergoing a renaissance. The roll-out of innovative new mmWave technology as part of that technology stack is helping to drive the adoption of 5G, as mmWave promises to increase data rates and provide a...
G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) is a technology to enable 5G user terminals on, or close to the earth’s surface, to connect to non-terrestrial base stations located on satellites. There are two major market ecosystems driving and innovating both the technology and business use cases...
The shift to cloud-native and disaggregated networks has enormous implications for testing, validating and verification. Operators wanted a software-centric environment for agility—now that they're getting it, what does that mean for service reliability and continuity? What testing is critical in disaggregation and edge computing...
With the move to a service-based architecture, what does it take for operators to become cloud native?
With meaningful new 5G revenues failing to materialize with the Non-standalone architecture, operators are now increasingly moving to a 5G Standalone service-based architecture. In this transition, there are...
5G is more than just higher data rates. The main advantage lies in the scalability of the network slices to support different critical applications. These network slices can be tuned for extremely short latencies, especially for reliable connections and peak transport rates. Learn how...
Broadband and mobile service providers around the world are investing billions in fiber deployments to support their 5G network and service ambitions. Fiber plays a key role: it supports the increased number of small cells that 5G standalone (SA) requires to meet coverage, performance...
The three (not so) easy pieces of 5G service assurance—orchestration, the edge, and end-to-end visibility
Here’s a hypothetical: A manufacturing enterprise has looked at its options for gaining production efficiencies and opted to use various video analytics backed by private 5G. A partner is engaged,...
5G is expanding into new industry segments, but also expanding into new technology areas, such as 5G positioning. Key concept of 5G precise positioning is to utilize 3GPP signaling in the 5G network to enhance the performance of position calculation. The eco-system for the...
Vital network functions are moving from hardware to virtualized software instances, and those software instances are increasingly being deployed in cloud environments. The goal is to give operators access to the scale, economics and innovative potential associated with the cloud.
But, in a new paradigm...
When bringing CT to live networks, it’s important to build and design for this framework from day one
The move towards continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment or CI/CD and continuous testing (CT) is part of the telecom industry’s larger push for full automation. According to...
Testing company EXFO announced a new partnership with Telescent, which produces automated fiber optic cross-connects for data centers. The two companies have integrated EXFO's diagnostic capabilities to Telescent's Gen 4 Network Topology Manager; Anthony Kewitsch, Telscent's CEO, said that the integration will " remote monitoring,...
Celona has introduced a new device certification scheme to reassure customers that certain user equipment will work without a hitch on its local-area (LAN) private LTE and 5G systems. The scheme is for “cellular-native private wireless devices”, it said; it is the first of...
This is article is taken from a recent editorial report on Industrial 5G Innovation – From Setting Standard to Becoming Standard; the previous instalment in this serialised version of the report is available here. Subsequent instalments are listed below (linking either to the original...
HANOVER, Germany—For all of the hype around tailoring industrial networks to meet the most demanding applications and connecting all sorts of automated and intelligent "things", private networks are, at this point in their development, largely being driven by companies wanting dedicated coverage and exclusive...
Network design company iBwave Solutions has introduced new software to help US enterprises dovetail their local-area private Wi-Fi and LTE/5G designs in a single platform. The solution is geared for new private LTE/5G installations in CBRS spectrum in the US, to complement legacy enterprise...
Rohde & Schwarz and IEMN have researched high frequency measurements and the integration of R&S solutions with photonic technologies
The Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN) in France and test equipment company Rohde & Schwarz have expanded their collaboration to research terahertz communications that...
Dutch chip manufacturer NXP Semiconductors has introduced a new IoT authentication device, part of its EdgeLock authenticator family, to raise security across multiple standards in various IoT ecosystems. The new NXP EdgeLock A5000 authenticator is described as a “scalable solution” for authentication applications in...
Maybe it is just the way we ask the questions, but… test and measurement company Keysight Technologies has sought, effectively, to dispel any rumour and disquiet in the ranks about delays with industrial-grade 5G devices to go with industrial-grade private 5G networks. The US-based...
