Straight to millimeter wave? Not so fast
It is becoming increasingly accepted that millimeter wave spectrum, the frequencies between 30 GHz and 300 GHz, will define "5G" networks. But there are still problems to be solved with mm wave before it is ready for prime...
'Extremely high frequency' means extremely fast 5G speeds
Millimeter wave spectrum is the band of spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz. Wedged between microwave and infrared waves, this spectrum can be used for high-speed wireless communications as seen with the latest 802.11ad Wi-Fi standard (operating at...

Defining devops
The most universal understanding of devops is a business model for managing a company’s software teams by bringing together developers and operations managers. But that basic definition is only the simplification of a concept with many intricacies and misunderstandings. For one, defining the broad...

What is massive MIMO?
Before going into “massive MIMO,” a potential enabler of 5G, it is important to understand the technology behind the traditional, smaller scale MIMO (multiple-input/multiple-output). MIMO deployment uses multiple antennas that are located at both the source (transmitter) and destination (receiver). Those...
What is a time-sensitive network?
A time-sensitive network (TSN) is a set of Ethernet standards that will allow time-synchronized low latency streaming services through 802 networks. TSN delivers mechanisms to create distributed, synchronized, hard real-time systems over standard Ethernet. These systems use the same infrastructure...
