5G/6G

IDT's next-gen RapidIO switches deliver the ultra-low latency, high bandwidth and superior energy efficiency needed for the development of 4G LTE-A and 5G wireless infrastructure systems. The RXS switch family delivers greater than twice the performance of IDT’s previous-gen switches and are also suited for applications with intensive bandwidth and low latency requirements such as mobile edge computing, high-performance computing and data a...

What is 5G? Is it just about the speed?

The University of Surrey’s 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) has published a whitepaper describing the capacity and coverage challenge for wireless networks in the coming decades. Collaborating with partners from BT, Telefonica, Real Wireless and EE, 5GIC researchers identified a need for 5G to tackle the challenge of universal mobile coverage that delivers the required speed and capacity for a range of applications, in a range of geographical ar...

Way beyond faster connection, 5G means a whole new generation for technology and a whole new experience for human life. It will revolutionise the production and application of technologies such as self-driving cars, video multi-casting, smart grids, robotics, virtual reality, and even remote medicine. 

With 5G looming large on the horizon, it’s an exciting time to be an RF engineer. As we embark on the road to 5G (the next generation wireless communications system), there are countless challenges and opportunities emerging for the engineering community. Thomas Cameron, CTO, Communications Infrastructure, Analog Devices explains more.

AT&T is unveiling its 5G roadmap to bring customers the next-generation of super-fast, flexible wireless connectivity. Technologies such as millimeter waves, Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) will be among the key ingredients for future 5G experiences.

Keysight Technologies, in collaboration with electrical engineers at the University of California, San Diego, has demonstrated the world's first 64 (8 x 8) and 256-element (16 x 16), 60-GHz silicon wafer-scale phased-array transmitter with integrated high-efficiency antennas for Gbps communications at 100 to 200 meters. With this demonstration, Keysight and UC San Diego have proven that a 5G communication link is not only possible, but can delive...
