Nordic Semiconductor has announced the the first member of its next-generation nRF53 wireless microcontroller SoCs, a multi-protocol-capable device intended to work with Bluetooth 5.1, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), Bluetooth mesh, Thread, and Zigbee. Building on the nRF51 and nRF52 series, the part is the nRF5340 and offers dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores with Arm’s CryptoCell-312 and TrustZone as well as secure key storage. ...
Rohm group company Lapis Semiconductor has announced the availability of a multiband (sub-1GHz/2.4GHz) wireless communication LSI, ML7421, aimed at applications requiring low power consumption over distance, such as smart meters, alarms, smart agriculture and building security systems. The ML7421 supports both sub-1GHz (400MHz to 960MHz) and 2.4GHz. By supporting the 2.4GHz band available world-wide, a single device can be deployed ...
The wireless transceiver module TCM 515 from EnOcean offers reduced power consumption and a smaller size compared to the previous generation TCM 310. Now available at Rutronik UK, the module is designed for systems such as transceiver gateways, actuators. Security features – encryption, decryption and authentication – can be performed directly in the module, enabling secure end-to-end communication without the ...
Watchguard Technologies has released the AP327X, a cloud-managed outdoor Wi-Fi access point (AP) with a ruggedised enclosure and external antenna connectors, designed for use in harsh conditions or locations that require flexible antenna pattern coverage. The AP327X is an 802.11ac 2×2 MU-MIMO device suitable for applications at university campuses, warehouses and manufacturing sites. The device adds four N-Type connectors for designers ...
Antenna Company claims to have the industry’s first 5G dielectric resonator phased antenna array designed specifically for 5G mm-wave applications. The 64-antenna DRA combines Antenna’s SuperShape and DRA technology to achieve wide-band operation over the 24-30 GHz frequency bands. The mm-wave DRA array demonstrates reduced scanning losses, lower sidelobe levels and greater maximum scan angle compared to a conventional patch ...
Test gear maker National Instruments systems has announced a 110-170GHz software-defined radio for 6G comms research, built on NI’s existing mmWave Transceiver System (MTS) and Virginia Diodes’ (VDI) radio heads. MTS has modular base-band and IF components that can be combined with programmable logic (FPGAs) to build complex RF transceiver – such as MIMO systems with digital signal processing capabilities. ...
Qualcomm has announced a new reference design for 5G-based fixed wireless access (FWA) home gateways. The design integrates Qualcomm’s SnapdragonX55 5G Modem-RF System and the Networking Pro 1200 platform for high performance Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System supports multi-gigabit 5G fixed wireless backhaul. The reference design pairs this 5G backhaul capability with the latest in Wi-Fi ...
