UK government puts £16m into 5G test network
The government plans to create a mobile communications networks for testing 5G technology to take a lead in the introduction of next generation mobile services. 5G research teams at King’s College London and the Universities of Surrey and Bristol will be awarded £16m to develop the 5G test network capable of processing huge amounts of data and supporting applications such ...
Cobham validates core networks as they go virtual
Cobham Wireless has launched TeraVM LaaS (lab-as-a-service) for core network testing, intending to support mobile operator networks as they shift towards ‘network function virtualisation’ (NFV) infrastructure. “The introduction of LTE-Advanced and 5G requires mobile operators to invest in virtual core network technology, in order to operate with dynamic flexibility and reduced cost,” said the firm. “TeraVM LaaS provides a comprehensive ...

Anritsu says time to prepare for 5G production
Anritsu is targeting development and commercial production of 5G mobile communications systems with a mid-range signal analyser offering 1GHz analysis bandwidth. The MS2850A has software for the evaluation of 5G multi-carrier signals. This is supported in hardware by a typical 800MHz modulation bandwidth which will be used in 5G (e.g. eight 100MHz bandwidth carriers). Anritsu says that, “with many operators ...
Rohm aims artificial intelligence chip at factory automation
Rohm and Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) are to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) chip for predictive maintenance in smart factories. The aim is to predict machine failures in by analysing information from sensors in real-time. “AI is becoming a key enabler for predictive maintenance and performance improvement, because of its cognitive abilities such as learning, reasoning ...
