• 4 Things You Need To Know About 5G’s Massive Potential

  Despite these challenges, 5G network technology and RF are going to revolutionize the way we communicate; 5G by delivering more speed and more reliable connections and RF doing things such as solving line-of-sight problems. Still, issues such as cost and compatibility with existing equipment could slow the deployment and adoption of these technologies. But the payoffs – improved coverage, greater reliability, faster communication speeds, and easier remote access – are too good to be ignored.

• Can 3D Printing Solve The Semiconductor Shortage?

  Semiconductors have been in short supply for the past couple of years and some experts don’t expect the supply of these little wonders to return to acceptable levels anytime soon. Those in need of semiconductors are learning to cope by designing for ability, leveraging AI, and finding the right logistics partners. There is one more solution to talk about: 3D printing.

• How GaN Is Transforming 5G

  Gallium nitride (GaN) technology first came on the scene in the 1990s and since then has helped to push the envelope and further revolutionize technology, allowing for new, higher-demand applications. Now it’s being looked at as a way to help improve 5G network performance.

• The Military And 5G: Things Are Starting To Heat Up

  5G will play a key role in the future success of the U.S. military but only if it is deployed quickly and in a manner to withstand the harshest of environments.

• Digital Twins And RF: A Look At How The Two Are Intertwined

  Digital twins have been around, conceptually, since the early 1990s. Now the technology – which consists of the physical object or process and its physical environment, the digital representation of the object or process, and the communication channel between the physical and virtual representations – is becoming more and more common, including in the RF world.

• 3 Developing Military Intelligence Technologies To Be Aware Of

  Two new technologies, as well as a new spin on one legacy technology, are coming to the forefront of the U.S. military’s must-have list.
