• Vision Metering Leverages Semtech’s LoRa Technology And LoRaWAN Standard To Reimagine Utility Metering

  Connectivity is a top challenge for smart utility metering. While several options – like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 5G – exist, these solutions cannot penetrate dense buildings and have issues providing seamless service. Semtech’s LoRa® devices and LoRaWAN® standard enable long range connectivity and low power consumption to enhance the performance of Vison’s advanced metering structures (AMIs).

• Solving The Challenge Of Many Devices With Multiple Standards In The Connected Home

  The number of connected devices in our homes continues to rise, and each device can be held to a different wireless standard. Qorvo explains how to manage multiple traffic standards within a connected home to keep communications between devices fast, efficient, scalable, and able to receive more data. 

• Head-To-Head Coaxial Interconnect Vs. OTA Testing For 5G

  Over-the-air (OTA) testing, something not historically possible with past generations of wireless devices, has the potential to revolutionize wireless device testing while enabling innovative testing of both advanced antenna systems (AAS) and antenna array technology.

• From The C Band To The V Band: A Year Of Big RF Spectrum Changes In The US

  Led by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), multiple portions of the spectrum ranging from the C band to the V band were either opened or auctioned to new uses throughout the year. These changes drive a variety of new opportunities for wireless device manufacturers and broadband and cellular carriers. These new opportunities result in a range of fresh challenges for RF technology vendors to help solve. 

• Extended Resolution Bandwidths For Ultrawideband (UWB) Measurements

  Used in communications, radar sensors, and IoT, ultrawideband (UWB) technology uses an extremely high bandwidth of 500 MHz or more. The ETSI standard requires a resolution bandwidth of 50 MHz. This application note explains technical reasons for the bandwidth limitation and presents solutions for regulative UWB testing using the R&S®ESW. 

• CHIP Gets Everybody “Talking”

  There’s a new standard in town and its name is CHIP – Connected Home Over the Internet Protocol. It aims to elevate consumers’ smart home experiences by making products more compatible. Up until now, we’ve had a range of protocols – Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth® Low Energy, Thread, etc. This article provides a brief introduction to this standard. 

• Internet Of Things Brochure

  As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow and change the way consumers manage information in the environment, Skyworks has worked to expand its wireless connectivity product portfolio for the needs of every emerging market. These markets include automotive, connected home, industrial, machine-to-machine (M2M), medical, mobile devices, smart energy, and wearable technologies. This brochure provides a brief overview on Skyworks’ new and featured products for each market.

• The Road To 5G Is Paved With Fiber

  The most demanding ­5G applications will require fiber for each small cell, but the exact fiber cable requirements for each deployment will differ based on local geography and expected demand. This paper discusses the use of fiber in 5G technologies, as well as how to calculate the amount of fiber needed for 5G in metropolitan areas.
