As LTE-Advanced Pro deployments gain momentum across the world, the technology, presented as a successor to current LTE-Advanced networks, is the stepping stone to 5G for mobile operators. LTE-Advanced Pro is available in different flavors and covers an extensive range of use cases. ABI Research forecasts global subscribers for high-speed data throughput will exceed 641 million in 2021, with 87% stemming from Asia Pacific, North America, and Western Europe.

Indium Corp. has released a new solder research kit designed for soldering to gold plating using indium-based alloys. Gold is often used in electronics assembly because it resists oxidation and solders readily. This makes gold ideal for plating contact surfaces for switches and connectors. 

Anritsu Co., as part of its commitment to developing 5G technology, announces its participation in the National Science Foundation (NSF)-led Advanced Wireless Research Initiative, which includes a program to enable the design, development, deployment and operations of four city-scale testing Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) over the next decade. The Advanced Wireless Research Initiative is further aligned with the White House Smart Cities Initiative, which aims to make it easier for cities, federal agencies, universities, and the private sector to work together to research and test, sometimes at scale, new technologies that can help make United States cities and communities more inhabitable, cleaner and more equitable.

Open air is getting crowded. Signals streaming back and forth from smart devices stretch existing fourth-generation wireless networks almost to their limits. As demands on these systems increase, University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers aim to open new frontiers in cutting-edge wireless communications.

GPS personal tracking device shipments will more than double by 2021 with a 21 percent CAGR as the industry shifts away from traditional markets, such as family and pet locator devices. ABI Research predicts that non-traditional markets including elderly/health, corporate, and personal asset tracking will embrace ubiquitous indoor and outdoor location technology.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced new collaborations with China Mobile on key 5G technologies. This includes channel measurement and modeling and massive MIMO over-the-air (OTA) testing.

New research by engineers from the Universities of Bristol and Lund, working alongside National Instruments (NI), has demonstrated how a massive antenna system can offer a 12-fold increase in spectrum efficiency compared with current 4G cellular technology.

The Center of Excellence at the Universität der Bundeswehr München (Federal Armed Forces University Munich, Germany) intends to provide academic staff at the university who have retired from active service in their faculty, such as Excellent Emeriti, but also staff from other universities who want to continue to do research.

Common coaxial cables could be made 50 percent lighter with a new nanotube-based outer conductor developed by Rice University scientists.

Thales has launched an Innovation Hub in Portugal and signed a cooperation agreement with Instituto Superior Técnico, the largest Engineering, Science, Technology and Architecture school in Portugal.
