Wi-Fi Flies Higher As Edge AI Build-Out Takes Root


Key Takeaways: Wi-Fi 7 is becoming an essential technology for edge AI, and subequent demands for even better reliability will grow as the edge build-out takes shape. Edge computing is based on the assumption that more data will be processed and stored locally, which will help reduce data leakage and theft. The big challenge ahead will be orchestrating data movement across different ... » read more

Edge And Micro Data Centers: Powering The Real-Time Digital World


The modern world no longer runs on delayed responses. It runs on immediacy. When a self-driving vehicle identifies a pedestrian, when a factory robot adjusts production in milliseconds, or when an augmented reality overlay appears instantly during remote surgery, there is no tolerance for latency. These applications demand data processing that happens almost at the speed of human reflexes. B... » read more

Mixer Technology For Advanced Communications, Part 1: Mixer Basics


Mixers are a fundamental component of wireless communications, and their design constraints become increasingly stringent with the demands of next-generation systems such as 5G and 6G. To meet these requirements, RF designers must optimize networks to support ever-increasing data rates while addressing challenges such as signal losses at millimeter-wave frequencies and the noise susceptibility ... » read more

New Antennas And Advanced ICs Needed For 6G


6G is expected to bring data speeds that enable highly integrated and responsive technology in smartphones, homes, cities, and autonomous vehicles, but realizing that goal will require a lot more work. There will be many more antennas everywhere, embedded in infrastructure around town, in base stations, edge-devices, and everything in between. They will be sending and receiving many more sig... » read more

6G Line-Of-Sight Repeaters, Dots, And Reflections


6G will open the door to ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, extended broadband, and machine communications, but its rapid signal attenuation places some sharp limits on where and how it can be used, and requires some expensive options to overcome those limitations. Applications include lifelike virtual reality for home and work use, highly interactive smart homes and cities, and aut... » read more

Enabling Secure 5G Standalone (SA) Core Deployments


5G SA introduces a fundamentally new, cloud-native, service-based core architecture that enables exceptional performance, agility, and dynamic service delivery. It marks a departure from legacy 4G LTE and 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) models, offering enhanced flexibility and scalability to support diverse use cases through features like network slicing and rapid service innovation. However, this ... » read more

GaN-on-Si Technology Powers The Future Of Wireless


Mobile data traffic continues to grow. Constant video streaming is on the rise in applications like TikTok, Netflix, and Instagram, while emerging AI-enhanced mobile apps are set to further boost data consumption by offering highly personalized experiences and advanced features like augmented reality and voice processing in real-time. Ericsson estimates that mobile data traffic, excluding fixed... » read more

6G Rollout Will Be A Patchwork At First


6G is expected to begin rolling out in 2030, but advances in 5G will inch cellular technology close enough that it will make the first 6G implementations seem more like just another upgrade. That's just the starting point, though. 6G technology gets much more interesting from there, connecting more devices at a significantly higher data rate, and enabling services that would be unattractive to ... » read more
