A team led by researchers from the University of Glasgow has developed an innovative wireless communications antenna that combines the unique properties of metamaterials with advanced signal processing to achieve new and state-of-the-art performance. In a paper published in IEEE Antennas and Propagation Open JournalIn the research paper, titled “60 GHz Programmable Dynamic Metasurface Antenna (DMA): From Concept to Prototype” the researchers present the development of a prototype digitally coded dynamic metasurface antenna (DMA) controlled by a high-speed field programmable gate array (FPGA). The company’s DMA is the world’s first product designed and demonstrated at an operating frequency in the…
Taiwan is one of the Asian countries boasting remarkable technological advancements and innovations in the communications industry. According to the United States International Trade Administration, Taiwan leads the high-tech industry thanks to its aggressive investment in research and development (R&D), manufacturing, and innovation. 5G Networks and Beyond Despite their technological success, Taiwanese manufacturers have faced operational challenges due to the limitations of traditional networks and cumbersome production processes. However, these challenges have been resolved through the integration of private 5G networks with advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications that increase efficiency…

To be honest, I had never even heard of pocket WiFi before visiting Japan. When traveling abroad, I usually buy an international plan through my mobile phone company, which usually costs $10 per device per day, which is quite expensive. To keep the high costs down, I usually just activate an international plan on one phone to get by, but when I heard about Japanese pocket WiFi I was intrigued and decided to check it out. Like most people, we feel anxious about the unknown and hesitate to try new things. At first, the idea of using pocket WiFi didn’t…
For customers, there is no clear difference between 4G and 5G technology, making the 5G story less appealing with each passing day, not just for telecom companies but also for individuals. Image: Shutterstock BAt the end of November 2022, a month after 5G services were launched in India, Shrenik Kanodia (not his real name), a day trader from Ahmedabad, recharged and opted for a “true” 5G network plan on his Reliance Jio plan for his iPhone 12. This was included for free for 336 days in his Rs 2,545 package, offering unlimited 5G with 1.5GB of 4G per day. “The…
The EBU calls on regulators and industry to improve the conditions for 5G use in professional, large-scale media production in a newly published white paper, which will also be featured in an upcoming webinar. 5G technology is now widely recognized as suitable for media production purposes, thanks to collaboration between EBU members and technology and service providers. Its adoption for professional content production requires better spectrum availability and appropriate licensing conditions for private 5G networks, ideally harmonised across Europe. Also, improved commercial services from mobile operators will enable even greater adoption. The EBU’s Programme Production and Special Events Group (PMSE)…
Interest in cellular non-terrestrial network technologies and business opportunities has been reflected in the amount of activity in this space in recent years, as 3GPP 5G standards efforts have built momentum toward the convergence of satellite and cellular networks, enhancing the potential for truly ubiquitous (and ultimately high-speed) connectivity. NTN was one of the major talking points at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and again a few weeks later at the Satellite Show 2024 in Washington DC. Mobile network operators, device makers and chipset companies are forming partnerships, developing products and, in some cases, already rolling out services,…
Axians helps its customers evolve their infrastructure and digital solutions, especially in the rollout of 5G. However, it is clear that in the industry, many actors have not yet realized all the benefits of 5G networks. We interviewed Sébastien Becquet, Business Manager at Axians at the Global Industrie trade fair, and he shared his insights with us. Do you think some industry players still haven’t fully understood the benefits of 5G? Sebastian Becquet: 5G benefits, How will it be designed and what will it be used for? Today, when you talk to some industrial players about 5G, they don’t know…
Image: Quectel Quectel Wireless Solutions has expanded its antenna portfolio with the introduction of 5G antennas and high-performance GNSS antennas designed to improve positioning and navigation capabilities for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

New 5G cell towers aimed at improving cell phone coverage locally and statewide are being installed in Kendall, but neighbors are not happy because they’re being placed right in front of their homes, sometimes without warning. A huge concrete slab was recently installed just outside the Kendale Lakes home of Lisette Monson, who has lived there for 10 years. “I went outside and looked and there was a 32-foot utility pole two inches away from my yard,” she said. “They had to cut my bushes and hedges, and my sprinklers are right on the edge of it.” She soon learned…
