CommAgility announced the general availability of its PHYRefChain-5G software which supports the development of 5G base station technology. Designed for 5G product developers working on SATCOM, wireless test, military communications and private network designs, this new software enables fast development and deployment of specialized 5G solutions for customized and unique applications.

Small Cell Forum (SCF) published its analysis of the burgeoning market for small cell-based private networks, outlining market drivers, use cases and recommendations for LTE-based networks and examining their evolution to 5G. The research shares insights gained by leading deployers of how different public and private sector organizations are benefiting from robust cellular connectivity, customized to their specific applications.

At its meeting on April 23, the FCC voted unanimously to allocate 1.2 GHz of spectrum in the 6 GHz band (i.e., between 5.925 and 7.125 GHz) for unlicensed use. “These new rules will usher in Wi-Fi 6, the next generation of Wi-Fi, and play a major role in the growth of the Internet of Things,” the FCC said in a release.

The addition of 1,200 MHz of spectrum for unlicensed use in the entire 6 GHz band, as approved by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), is a watershed moment for connectivity and innovation. As the leading global advocate of shared spectrum, the Dynamic Spectrum Alliance is particularly enthusiastic about the provisions adopted by the FCC.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced it has collaborated with Murata, a system-in-package integrator for 5G mobile platforms, to deliver the industry’s first RF front-end modules designed with the latest Wi-Fi 6 standards. Together, the companies are delivering a solution that can reduce design times, improve time-to-market and save board space in next generation Wi-Fi 6 implementations.
