A team of researchers from KU Leuven created a network of software defined radios that can simultaneously transmit and detect harmful interference using in-band full duplex technique which results in an ultra-efficient network with double the throughput. Read the case …

Designing for 5G New Radio (NR) means dealing with new technologies, as they’re being defined. It’s easy to get lost in the buzz words as you try to focus–beamforming, over-air-testing, mmWave, numerology, and on and on. Keysight’s poster focuses on …

Nearly 72% of Americans experience dropped calls, slow internet, and poor cellular coverage. With 80% of cell phone use made indoors, it has a significant impact on businesses and productivity. SignalBoosters.com and Coleman Parkes Research examine the bottom line impact …

The positive impact of smart city technologies on economic development could see cities locking in incremental growth of almost 3% and driving more than $20 trillion in additional economic benefits over the coming decade.  These are the findings of a …

As 2G and 3G networks shut down, more and more IoT devices need to quickly migrate to next-G capability. Get ahead of impending network sunsets with a better understanding of what to plan for when migrating to 4G and beyond. …

Now that 5G is getting closer to deployment, what are the killer apps going to be that push 5G forward into broad deployment? It is said that 5G could be the next “General Purpose Technology”, but will 5G influential enough …

Mobile network operators (MNOs) have been driven to upgrade their cell towers through fierce competition to provide higher bandwidth and quality of service. Typical Internet traffic has been constantly increasing. Mobile video traffic by the usual suspects—YouTube, Vine, Netflix, just …

This white paper reviews the latest trends in the radio access networks (RANs) of mobile networks, including the evolution to Cloud-RAN, virtualized architectures. Although it can be difficult to make accurate predictions for some technologies, we are fortunate in the …

Each step in the evolution of radio access networks (RANs) brings unique opportunities and challenges for mobile network operators. Today, fiber has mostly replaced coaxial cables in new mobile fronthaul builds, otherwise known as fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA). The next technological innovation …

Mobile network operators (MNOs) are expanding their fronthaul networks to get ready for 5G. As more RRHs are deployed, the number of RF signals and fiber optic connections being monitored—and trouble tickets being generated—will skyrocket. All that change means field …

System-in-package technologies are making a significant impact on the electronics supply chain as the semiconductor industry strives to meet the perpetual demand for higher performance, smaller size, and lower cost. Learn how automated test strategies must evolve to keep pace.

With around 80 percent of mobile broadband traffic generated or consumed inside buildings, it’s vital to deliver the best customer experience indoors. Yet conventional macrocellular outdoor-in coverage is often inadequate. We explore the options for delivering revenue-boosting indoor mobile broadband …
