D-Link has launched a dual-SIM 5G cellular-to-Ethernet bridging router for machine-to-machine communication. DWM-314-G 5G has a built-in four-port Gbit/s Ethernet switch and two separate 5G interfaces. “Additionally, secure [OpenVPN, Wireguard] VPN capabilities safeguard data transmission, ensuring robust security for all connected devices,” added D-Link. Each cellular connection gets its own micro-SIM card (‘3FF’ size), two antennas (four total, via SMA-F), ...
Nordic Semiconductor has had its nRF9151 cellular wireless IoT module certified for satellite network use on Skylo’s service. “The certification ensures compliance with Skylo’s satellite network spanning 36 countries and more than 60 million square km of coverage, enabling developers to build IoT devices that maintain connectivity even in areas without terrestrial coverage,” according to Nordic. It enables building “a ...
Open Cosmos is enabling 6G tests in space with the commissioning i2CAT’s 6GStarLab satellite, an in-orbit telecommunications laboratory. Specifically, SpaceX launched the craft on Transporter 15 at the end of November. It has been successful deployed and the UK satellite mission services company is now preparing the craft for in-space tests. 6GStarLab Open Cosmos worked with i2CAT, a Barcelona-based research ...
Nordic Semiconductor is expanding its nRF54L Series development options with the nRF7002 EBII board for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The nRF7002 EBII plug-in board adds Wi-Fi 6 capabilities to Nordic’s nRF54L Series Development Kits (DKs), enabling developers to create high performance, energy-efficient, Wi-Fi 6-enabled IoT solutions. Based on Nordic’s nRF7002 Wi-Fi Companion IC, the nRF7002 EBII allows product developers using Nordic’s ...
Novocomms of Birmingham, UK, has £1.5m of Innovate UK funding to develop 28GHz in-antenna switches. “The components we are developing are based on addressable low-loss semiconductors which can be used to switch signals to the elements of an antenna array across a wide range of frequencies,” said Novocomms chairman Colin Tucker. “This addressability reduces the complexity of the PCB on ...
STMicroelectronics is aiming at Matter 1.5 smart-home networking with a 2x3mm NFC chip called ST25DA-C. “The ST25DA-C secure NFC tag can operate cryptographic operations required for Matter device commissioning using energy harvesting from the RF field,” according to the company. “This mechanism allows users to add unpowered devices to the smart home network. It also simplifies the installation of multiple ...
Taoglas, the RF and antenna specialist, has enhanced to its Antenna Integrator tool – part of the company’s AntennaXpert design suite – adding design flexibility and collaboration features. The updates come as the AI in the models learns, adapts and improves from ongoing real-life use cases. The latest Antenna Integrator update adds nine new PCB shape templates – including circle, ...
Fabless companies are benefitting from CHIPs Act funding, with its impact on the talent pipeline, Jim Guzzo of Impinji told Electronics Weekly. Guzzo, the investment in fabs and the development of fab technology is a driver for investment in STEM, science, technology and manufacturing, he said. The fabless, US company develops its own manufacturing processes. This is partly to protect ...
The European Space Agency (ESA), MediaTek, Eutelsat, Airbus, Sharp, ITRI, and Rohde & Schwarz are highlighting what they describe as world’s first Rel-19 5G-Advanced NR-NTN connection over LEO satellites. The connection uses OneWeb (Eutelsat) satellites with Ku-band conditional handover. And NR-NTN stands for New Radio-Non-Terrestrial Network. Rel-19 Note that 5G-advanced has also been dubbed as 5.5G. The 3GPP Release 19 ...
Smiths Interconnect has introduced 50GHz 0404 wire-bondable chip attenuators. HR TSX Wire Bond 2 series are space-qualified to MIL-PRF-55342 and available in 1 to 10dB versions as well as 15dB and 20dB. Up to 1W can be handled. “Built using a robust thin-film technology on an alumina substrate, the HR TSX WB2 Series provides reliable and stable performance in industries such ...
