Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) introduced the IDT® F2480 analog variable gain amplifier (AVGA), the first in a family of high performance devices for a broad set of communications equipment.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) introduced a 28 nm digital-to-analog converter (DAC) as part of a series of high speed DACs. The AD9172 meets the demands of gigahertz bandwidth applications and delivers the increased spectral efficiency needed for 4G / 5G multi-band wireless communications base stations and 2 GHz E-Band microwave point-to-point backhaul radios. Its design benefits production instrumentation targeting multi-standard direct-to-RF signal synthesis and provides a solution for defense electronics requiring greater detection range. 

u-blox has achieved certification of its SARA-R404M module for Verizon’s nationwide Category M1 LTE network, which will support industrial Internet of Things applications.

Manufacturers who want to integrate wireless modules into their products now face completely new test requirements. The US's largest wireless network operator is the first to publish specific test plans for IoT integrators. In response, Rohde & Schwarz announces the availability of its new R&S TS 290 IoT carrier acceptance test system, which is based on these test plans. Claimed to be the only test solution of its kind, it offers RF, protocol and performance test cases in a single box.

The FCC completed the broadcast incentive auction, raising $19.8 billion in gross revenue for 70 MHz of mobile spectrum between 600 and 700 MHz.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that its cellular-IoT test solution was selected by China Telecom to help accelerate its Narrow-Band IoT (NB-IoT) chipset and module certification progress.
