Challenges In Reducing Wireless Latency

By Karen Heyman - 10 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new and much faster version of Wi-Fi is beginning to infiltrate the IoT market, reducing latency that has begun to creep up as more data is generated, processed, and moved wirelessly from one device to another. An estimated 20 billion connected devices are currently in use. Over the next several years, devices will start to include faster wireless connectivity, enabling more rapid transfer... » read more

Technology of the Connected Home and Building Delivers On Safety, Comfort and Convenience

By Renesas - 05 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Devices for the home and office are increasingly differentiated by their intelligence and connectivity. Products that can sense their environment, detect users and other people, understand behavior, and respond in a way that humans find intuitive, provide higher value in the form of greater comfort, convenience and safety. This new generation of equipment for the smart home and building is made... » read more

The Need For Speed: Wi-Fi 7 And The Era Of Ultra-Fast Internet

By Alejandro Escobar Calderon - 09 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The exponential growth of data consumption and the proliferation of connected devices have driven the need for the development of Wi-Fi 7. With the increasing demand for high-speed internet access, especially in bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming, gaming, and virtual reality, existing wireless standards have become inadequate to meet the evolving needs of users. Wi-Fi 7 addresse... » read more

SAP: A Secure Low-Latency Protocol for Mitigating High Computation Overhead in WI-FI Networks

By Fraunhofer IIS/EAS - 14 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

The increase in popularity of wireless networks in industrial, embedded, medical and public sectors has made them an appealing attack surface for attackers who exploit the vulnerabilities in network protocols to launch attacks such as Evil Twin, Man-in-the-middle, sniffing, etc., which may result in economic and non-economic losses. To protect wireless networks against such attacks, IEEE 802.11... » read more

Wi-Fi 7 Moves Forward, Adding Yet Another Protocol

By Karen Heyman - 17 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 1

The latest generation Wi-Fi protocol brings better speeds and data handling, but it does little to bridge various communications technologies. That, in turn, makes it more difficult and more expensive to design chips because they must integrate and support multiple wireless technologies, including different versions of the same technology. Wireless communications technologies are often victi... » read more

What’s Next In Wireless Standard Adoption?

By Chen Chang - 27 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Chen Chang and Alejandro Escobar Calderon Although each generation in wireless technologies often introduces enhanced capabilities, the broad adoption of any new technology requires both technical and business viability. For 5G, solving for technical challenges such as path loss and radio front-end efficiency has led to massive innovations in network design, semiconductor packaging, and t... » read more

Test Gets Ready For Wi-Fi 7

By Jan Ermert - 07 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

New test solutions are emerging to address the test challenges associated with the forthcoming Wi-Fi 7 standard. Wi-Fi 7 covers the (so far, for Wi-Fi) unused frequency range between 6 GHz and 7.125 GHz, using up to 4096-QAM modulation schemes and up to 320MHz channel bandwidth (see figure 1). Fig. 1: Wi-Fi band ranges are shown here, including the 3x increase in bandwidth enabled by a... » read more

The Future Of Connectivity Is Higher Data Rates And Micro-Positioning

By David Vondran - 11 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

These days, we tend to take global wireless connectivity for granted. Whether we’re in a coffee shop, a hotel room, or a plane at 35,000 feet, chances are that we’ll be able to enjoy Internet access at reasonable speeds. But despite this constant connectedness, we still manage to misplace our keys and forget where we left our smartphones. New connectivity technologies are promising to ha... » read more

What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Renesas has acquired a number of companies over the past several years. What's the goal? Chittipeddi: The goal very simply is to create an industry leading solutio... » read more

Our Wireless World: How Wi-Fi 6 Will Seamlessly Integrate With 5G To Help Keep Us Connected

By David Haynes - 19 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Most of us have a good understanding of what 5G is by now. Buzz around the fifth-generation wireless technology has reached a fever pitch – and for good reason.  It offers significantly greater bandwidth, faster connectivity, and lower latency, enabling it to power a much broader range of digital applications than its predecessors. 5G is ushering in a new wave of business and societal trans... » read more
