During a conversation about the networks of the future at Mobile World Congress Las Vegas, IEEE Senior Member David Witkowski told RCR Wireless News a notable trend...
6G isn’t even close to being standardized, but work is already underway to figure out what it might look like. And when it comes to what spectrum that future 6G systems will use, the path is clear: Spectrally speaking, the only place to go...
Wireless connectivity has spread so completely around the world over the last couple of decades that it’s pretty easy to overlook everything going on behind the scenes to make it all work—the wires behind the wireless. There’s a necessary synergy in the development of...
The tech industry is a hype machine. The promise of something newer, faster, and better is unmistakably alluring. It’s why we fork over hundreds of dollars for the new iPhone even when our one-generation-old iPhone works perfectly fine.
Wi-Fi is no exception. Yes, it is...
IEEE prohibits Huawei personnel from peer-review process
The multi-faceted battle between various U.S. government offices and Chinese technology company Huawei, largely a proxy for a larger trade war, this week drew in a normally quiet regulatory body, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
According to...
ABI Research projects 1 billion Wi-Fi 6 chipsets to be shipped annually in 2022
Although 5G is the leading the current telecoms hype cycle, it's important to remember that Wi-Fi continues to be advanced in parallel with the latest iteration, based on the IEEE 802.11ax...
A previous article in this series discussed government efforts for cybersecurity. This article will give a rundown on some of the major standards development organizations (SDOs) in the area of cybersecurity, with appropriate links. It is impossible to include every organization, but these are...
IoT security is top-of-mind for governments, enterprises
Speaking during a Fortinet event in Singapore last week, the U.K.-based Centre for Strategic Cyber Space and Security Science (CSCSS) announced that it is planning to launch a new IoT security standard in September 2018.
The organisation's Asia-Pacific Executive...
802.11ax designed to boost Wi-Fi in congested deployment scenarios
The next enhancement to the IEEE Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ax, is poised to hit both enterprise and consumer markets as new product offerings, like Ruckus' access points and Charter's new home Wi-Fi router. Both the router and...
Hub home provides fixed wireless to nearby residences
Regional carrier C Spire, which is headquartered in Ridgeland, Miss., provides a variety of cellular and broadband services businesses and residents around the largely rural state. As it expands a new fixed wireless access service, the provider...
Ruckus to ship 802.11ax access points this quarter
This week Ruckus, an Arris company, announced it plans to begin shipping access points that support the newest flavor of Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11ax, this quarter. The Wi-Fi enhancement is designed to support ultra-dense deployment scenarios—think airports, stadiums,...
Cellular is increasingly expanding into unlicensed Wi-Fi frequencies
The 3GPP has finalized the non-standalone and standalone 5G New Radio (NR) standards and is further defining the next generation of cellar to align with IMT-2020 performance requirements. Wi-Fi is simultaneously following a develop roadmap, laid out...
With cellular and Wi-Fi, "You need them both," analyst says
Commercial, standards-based 5G deployments are set to go live later this year. At the same time, Wi-Fi continues to see capacity enhancements, most recently, with the commercialization of products based on the IEEE's 802.11ax specification....
OpenFog Consortium's fog computing architecture becomes an IEEE standard
The IEEE Standards Association has adopted OpenFog Consortium's work on a reference architecture for fog computing, which extends cloud computing concepts to the network edge for data-intensive applications.
The OpenFog Reference Architecture will be known as IEEE...
C-V2X links vehicles to pedestrians, infrastructure, the network and other vehicles
As trials pick up and automakers partner with telecom ecosystem stakeholders to advance vehicle connectivity on the way to autonomous driving, let's take a look at the wireless connectivity linking vehicles to the world...
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has warned enterprises all over the world are face a “nightmare” with the security of everyday devices connecting to their networks. Manufacturers of new ‘internet of things’ (IoT) devices are not thinking about security by design,...
This increasingly variegated platform drives the requirement for coexistence between 5GNR, LTE and unlicensed technologies — close integration at core and even radio level now, and a harmonized migration path both to 5G and future IEEE 802 standards. The two tracks may not converge...
451 Research: When it comes to fog solutions, ‘OT guys are buying outcomes’
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--Fog computing is poised to unlock new levels of efficiency and data insight for a wide range of verticals, but, as the nascent technology set gains mindshare, a new level...
IEEE working group focuses on accelerating fog computing adoption
To help meet the demand of fog and edge computing, the OpenFog Consortium recently announced its OpenFog Reference Architecture will provide a foundation for a new IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) working group. The purpose of the...
Massive MIMO is seen as a key technology to delivering mobile 5G
Massive multiple-input, multiple-output, or massive MIMO, is an extension of MIMO, which essentially groups together antennas at the transmitter and receiver to provide better throughput and better spectrum efficiency. This method’s ability to multiply...
