A joint team of physicists from Skoltech, MIPT and ITMO has developed an optical component that helps to manage the properties of a terahertz beam and split it into multiple channels. The new device can be used as a modulator and generator of terahertz vortex beams in medicine, 6G communications and microscopy. The paper is published in the journal Nature. Advanced Optical Materials. Terahertz technology is a rapidly evolving technology that transmits signals at about one trillion hertz (1 THz), halfway between the microwave and infrared frequency bands. The technology has applications in medicine as an alternative to X-rays, as…
Smart ports are currently the easiest locations to install private 5G networks, as outdoor communication and mobility are the main benefits at this stage of 5G technology’s development. This is because shipping terminals have large outdoor spaces where potentially automated machines and vehicles move around, and there is a lot of data that can be used to optimize traffic systems or respond to weather systems. In fact, without much research, this little bit of work could have produced a list at least twice as long. With the help of a research note from SNS Telecom & IT, I compiled a…
Regional carrier UScellular boasts 5G standalone (SA) core The first consumers of SA Core are expected to be FWA consumers. U.S. Cellular remained silent about the status of the sale. Connect (X) Atlanta — U.S. Cellular has deployed its 5G Standalone (SA) Core and is conducting tests with employees but it’s not yet ready to commercially roll it out to consumers, an executive at the major carrier told Fierce. “We expect to have an initial small number of customers on board within the next couple of months,” said Michael Deanhart, U.S. Cellular’s vice president of engineering and network operations, during…
The transition from 3G to 4G has primarily concerned communications stocks such as Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T), and the transition to 5G is no exception. Verizon’s 5G nationwide mobile network is available in more than 2,700 cities as the network continues to expand. The 5G Ultra Wideband network uses high-band (mmWave) and mid-band (C-band) spectrum and is up to 10 times faster than the national network. When your phone is outside of 5G coverage, it will automatically switch to 4G LTE mode. AT&T is the largest wireless communications provider in the United States, with 44.8%…
Next-generation 6G infrastructure promises high bandwidth, but it requires higher frequencies that are notoriously easily interrupted by a variety of physical obstacles. New research seeks to get around this limitation by creating transmitters that can steer a “self-accelerating beam” to bend the signal around these obstacles. Although this technology doesn’t solve all of the shortcomings of high-frequency communication, it is currently the best way to maintain a reliable data connection.With the ever-increasing need for higher bandwidth, telecommunications companies are now hard at work on the future 6G technology (if you believe some foreign governments, the transition is already underway). Like…
Huawei implemented the project in Thailand in partnership with Midea, AIS, and China Unicom. Chinese vendor Huawei claims to have jointly built Southeast Asia’s first fully 5G connected factory together with electronics maker Midea Group, Thai telecommunications company AIS and Chinese telecommunications operator China Unicom. Huawei said the project takes advantage of the 5G network coverage of Midea Industrial Park in Chonburi, Thailand, and its 5G advanced industrial Internet platform, and has already seamlessly connected each production stage in the facility through 5G terminals, speeding up the operation of machines. The vendor also explained that dedicated 5G private networks are…
KT and Nokia have agreed to cooperate in developing advanced open RAN technologies for 6G mobile communications. South Korean telecommunications company KT is partnering with Finnish vendor Nokia to conduct research in the field of 6G, South Korean media outlets have reported. The two companies have agreed to cooperate on the development of advanced Open RAN technologies for 6G mobile communications and ultra-wideband wireless access technologies using candidate 6G frequencies. “Through our 6G partnership with Nokia, KT hopes to lead the development of communications technologies that will directly link to next-generation cloud and artificial intelligence,” said Lee Jeong-sik, head of…
5G It’s been around for quite some time, but it still has some issues 5G Home Internet ServiceTo be honest, I’m still confused at times. One of the most common questions I get is, “I have 5G on my phone when I’m at home, but my provider says I don’t have 5G home internet service. What does that mean?” I encountered this myself when I changed careers. AT&T To T-Mobile And I was immediately impressed with the 5G performance of my phone. But even though I had T-Mobile 5G cellular service at home, my address was T-Mobile Home InternetMy immediate…
Over the past decade, the manufacturing industry has undergone significant transformation driven by technological advancements, shifting consumer demands, and global economic fluctuations. More recently, Industry 4.0 was born as manufacturers race to upgrade to “smart factories” that connect all users and locations of manufacturing operations with cloud-based connectivity to improve efficiency, productivity, and continuity. By upgrading and adopting new technologies, manufacturers can stay competitive as they move to optimize processes, improve quality, and reduce costs.As manufacturers become increasingly reliant on the latest technology, it’s clear that connectivity is truly the backbone of the industry. Maintaining fast, reliable networks is fundamental…
Today’s hyperscale data centers run on agile connectivity, with high-speed data transfer essential to smooth operations. But there’s another critical connectivity need growing in data centers around the world.While most data center operations are fully automated, technicians still need to visit facilities periodically to repair outages, perform upgrades, and perform ongoing maintenance. With the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend becoming more prevalent, many of these technicians are relying on 5G mobile services from their mobile devices. network Allows operators to communicate and access technical support while working in the data center.Additionally, more hyperscalers are embracing Internet of Things (IoT)…
