Since Columbine in 1999, more than 350,000 students have been affected by gun violence while at school. These devastating acts not only shatter lives and families but also inflict long-lasting negative effects on the survivors, witnesses and the nation.
Sync switching is a very understated piece of the 5G puzzle and something that carriers are actively working with OEMs like ADRF to improve, explains Director of Engineering at ADRF Sun Kim.
It is no question that our society is increasingly connectivity-reliant, especially over the last decade. So when natural disasters occur—whether a hurricane, tornado or earthquake—their fears are exacerbated by wireless network outages that cut off their ability to call or text loved ones to check on their safety.
The public safety communications industry is growing rapidly and ever changing. It is important for every ICT professional to follow and understand the changes to the code to offer the best solutions.
Sun Kim, ADRF’s director of product engineering, talks about the FiRe-78-8-U, the company’s channelized 700/800 MHz repeater with a built-in and fiber DAS head end in a single unit. Each unit has been certified as meeting the UL 2524, second edition, standard and supports as many as 8 remote units.
The wireless industry is anything but predictable year to year; however, momentum at the tail end of 2022 paints a clear picture of some megatrends we expect to see in 2023.
Heading into 2023, the wireless industry’s thought leaders expect a continued focus on fixed wireless access, further development of the network edge and increasing use cutting-edge technologies like robotics and artificial intelligence. Read more about what they expect in the year to come.
As electric utilities strive to further implement advanced technologies to modernize their grid, improve operations, and create a better experience for customers and administrators, private networks are becoming increasingly important.
At the major auction last February, companies spent over $81 billion to secure the spectrum that was once allocated to satellite TV. Verizon won 3,500 licenses for a whopping $45.5 billion, AT&T secured 1,621 licenses for $23.4 billion and T-mobile—needing less C-band than the others with its Sprint acquisition of 2.5GHz—won 142 licenses for $9.3 billion.
5G wireless is largely characterized by high data throughput and low latency, but spectral efficiency is the real show stealer. It’s what matters to carriers and what should matter to industries that aim to use 5G for mission-critical applications such as manufacturing, healthcare, and more.
