Competition in the antenna supplier market is heating up as 5G is deployed and market share is under intense pressure. In its recent analysis of the global 4G and 5G mobile cellular antenna market, ABI Research found that Huawei remains the market leader in the base station antenna market, maintaining its top position in both market share and supplier rankings.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) describes Ethernet transmission over a single pair of copper wires. In addition to data transmission, SPE also enables simultaneous power delivery to terminal devices via Power over Data Line (PoDL). Previously, this required two pairs for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and four pairs for Gigabit Ethernet. SPE now opens up entirely new possibilities and application areas for Industrial Ethernet.

Researchers at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a mathematical formula that, according to computer simulations, could help 5G and other wireless networks select and share communication frequencies approximately 5,000 times more efficiently than trial-and-error methods.

Indra will lead the European R&D project CROWN, which will equip European fighter jets and aircraft with capabilities that combine radar, communications, and electronic defense to dominate the radio spectrum and operate with an advantage against the enemy.

In response to the global coronavirus pandemic, the new ETSI Industry Specification Group "Europe for Privacy Protection Pandemic" (ISG E4P) has been established to provide a standardization framework that will enable developers to create interoperable mobile applications for proximity detection and anonymous identification.

The 25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium, originally established to develop 25, 50, and 100 Gbps Ethernet specifications, has changed its name to Ethernet Technology Consortium to reflect a new focus on higher-speed Ethernet technologies.

Imagine you've been diagnosed with Covid-19. Health officials begin contact tracing to contain the spread, asking you to identify the people you've been in close contact with. The obvious people that come to mind: your family, your coworkers. But what about the woman in front of you in line at the pharmacy last week, or the man who bags your groceries? Or any of the other strangers you've been near in the past 14 days?

Following its debut in 2019, the Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Double Density 800 (QSFP-DD800) Multi Source Agreement (MSA) group has announced the release of a new hardware specification for the QSFP-DD800 transceiver form factor.

Researchers at the University of Southampton's Zepler Institute for Photonics and Nanoelectronics have demonstrated a new leap in hollow-core fiber performance, underlining the technology's potential to soon eclipse current optical fibers.

Farnell has published a new study on the Internet of Things (IoT) that confirms the strong adoption of artificial intelligence in IoT devices and shows new insights regarding the main markets, enablers, and concerns of design engineers working in IoT.

By 2023, 5G networks will support more than 10% of all mobile connections globally. The average 5G speed will be 575 megabits per second, 13 times faster than the average mobile connection. With optimized performance, 5G will provide more dynamic mobile infrastructure for AI and emerging IoT applications, including autonomous vehicles, smart cities, connected healthcare, and immersive video, among others.

The Galician Textile Industry Confederation (COINTEGA – Textile and Fashion Cluster) and the Galician startup Bionix Supplychain Technologies will launch a demonstration center for RFID technologies. The aim is to showcase and make available to companies the advantages that this technology offers for supply chain management.

Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC), Mobile World Capital Barcelona, ​​the Catalan Government, and Vodafone have installed commercial 5G coverage between the Plaça Espanya and Europa Fira stations. This project is part of the network of laboratories for testing 5G technology that 5G Barcelona is promoting in the city.

Orange and Nokia have completed a standalone 5G data call using commercial equipment on a virtualized native core network architecture in Nokia's cloud and Mediatek terminals compliant with version 15 of the 3GPP standard. 

Nokia has announced that Angola Cables is testing Nokia's Photonic Service Engine 3 (PSE-3) chipset for the first direct optical connection between the United States and Africa.

Siemens and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have deployed the first private 5G network in a real-world industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8 GHz band. The two companies joined forces on this project: Siemens provided the real-world industrial test conditions and end devices, such as SIMATIC control systems and IoT devices, while Qualcomm supplied the 5G test network and related equipment.

On the 14th, the second phase of the so-called second digital dividend begins, in which more than 1,400 municipalities in Madrid, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Catalonia and some municipalities in Aragon, the Valencian Community, Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León will have to move the DTT channels from the 700 MHz band to the 600 MHz band (from 470 MHz to 694 MHz), in order to free up about 100 MHz (from 694 MHz to 790 MHz) and be able to carry out the deployment of the 5G network.

A team of scientists, including a researcher from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, has developed a novel method based on neural networks to predict wind energy production, which will allow for optimization of its reliability.
