Analog Devices is addressing the migration of 4G mobile radio design to pre-massive MIMO systems through is wireless basestation development platform called RadioVerse. Additions to RadioVerse now include a new focus on lower power radio development with new radio transceiver hardware and software tools. According to ADI, this will support the development of radio designs for 4G small cell and ...
The first interoperability test sessions for mission-critical LTE equipment will take place later this month at the ETSI headquarters in Sophia Antipolis, France. These are standard’s body ETSI’s first plugtests for Mission Critical Push to Talk (MCPTT) with equipment from different vendors. Push-to-Talk (PTT) is a standard feature of narrowband Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) technologies developed specifically for mission-critical communications. PTT ...
Security firm Irdeto and market researcher Frost & Sullivan have published a report on automotive cyber security.
Operating self-driving cars in a single software environment exposes all software to any cyber attack surface. A more sensible solution is to use a hypervisor to host multiple virtual machines on one processor, writes Chris Barlow The security of automotive systems goes hand-in-hand with functional safety gas defined in ISO 26262. But cybersecurity presents a different challenge. New cyber vulnerabilities ...
Oxfordshire-based P2i, which develops liquid repellent materials used in smartphones, has received a £10m in venture funding from Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank’s Growth Finance team. Liquid damage is the second most common type of phone damage, behind smashed screens. P2i develops water resistant nano-coating which are used to protect the electronic components in smartphones. The firm said it will use the investment to fund a period of forecasted ...
The group of firms behind the MIPI interface specifications is to address security in its mobile device interface specifications. The initiative takes the form of the Security Birds of a Feather (BoF) group which is open to MIPI Alliance member companies as well as non-member security experts. The aim of the group will be to provide recommendations and guidelines to the MIPI Alliance Board of Directors ...
NI is working with the wireless research centre within New York University Tandon School of Engineering to fund the development of mmWave communications, channel measurement and channel emulation research for 5G communications. NI has donated almost $1m (£806,000) to the NYU’s wireless group. This will include equipping labs with software defined radio hardware and software. Millimetre-wave (mmWave) frequencies have now ...
Georgia Tech researchers have created a non-linear optical metamaterial that produces a spectral shift under only milliwatts of radation, suspecting it to have the strongest non-linear optical rotation ever reported for a chiral metamaterial – about a hundred thousand times larger than the current record measurement for this type of structure, said the university. A 500μW to 15mW change in ...
“Showcasing key enabling 5G technologies for a proof-of-concept environment at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, Korea."
Qualcomm Technologies has selected a RF test system from Rohde & Schwarz to test and characterise its first generation 5G RF transceiver (SDR051). Qualcomm announced its Snapdragon X50 5G modem platform in October 2016. It is designed to support download speeds of up to 5Gbit/s, initially using very wide bandwidths available in the 28GHz millimetre wave (mmWave) band. Sampling of ...
