Ericsson introduced the AIR 3246 radio for massive MIMO, which supports both LTE and 5G new radio (NR) and complements Ericsson’s global 5G radio offering.

Rohde & Schwarz is addressing the demands for characterizing wideband components and systems with the R&S FSW-B5000 option, which will be demonstrated for the first time to at EDI CON USA in Boston.

A year or two ago, it was thought that the first 5G applications would be sub 6 GHz using technologies such as massive MIMO, high orders of carrier aggregation, heterogeneous networks, etc., to achieve better data rates, latency and capacity. But new semiconductor processes and architectures have rapidly progressed making 5G mmWave technology available today at reasonable costs.

Anokiwave, Inc. has completed a Series C funding round led by a new investor, Gefinor Capital with US Boston Capital Corporation and its affiliate Pear Tree Partners. The funding will support the development of silicon-based RFICs for 5G, satellite communications and aerospace and defense markets.

In 5G trials in Beijing, Huawei achieved data rates greater than 20 Gbps using 200 MHz bandwidth at 4.9 GHz.
