This white paper will cover how wireless communication infrastructure can evolve to support growing user and data demands, ass well as how service operators are investigating the use of mmWave technology to evaluate the best candidate frequencies for use in next gen 5G mobile applications.
The "internet of things" is connecting more than robots and sensors; it is also connecting companies that normally guard their tests and prototypes from competitors. Test equipment maker National Instruments has brought competitors Cisco and Hewlett Packard Enterprise together as sponsors of its new...
Consolidation continues to shape the test and measurement industry. Over the past three years, a number of major telecom test and measurement companies have acquired, sold, spun off or otherwise fundamentally changed their business operations.
Since the last iteration of this list, for example, Keysight...
Hardware makers are racing to connect almost every kind of industrial machine to the internet, and they know the value of connectivity increases exponentially when those machines can talk to one another. Interoperability is one of the biggest challenges foreseen by the makers of...
Every year the number of wireless-enabled devices and the amount of data consumed continue to grow at an exponential rate (53 percent CAGR 1). As these devices create and consume more data, the wireless communications infrastructure that connects them must evolve to support the...
AUSTIN, Texas – Connected cars are exciting to the wireless industry and the driving public, but researchers creating systems to enable autonomous vehicles are prioritizing what's inside connected cars: humans. Keeping human passengers safe is the primary goal of connected vehicles, and with that goal...
Everyone is talking about it, but what will 5G be really like in a commercial environment?
Getting beyond the technical specifications, what “5G” will be in practice is nearly as confusing as digging into its planned technical specifications. In fact, some note the real purpose...
