Anritsu Co. announces that its ME7873LA RF/RRM Conformance Test System (CTS) leads the industry in total number of validated PTCRB 3CA LTE test cases supported by any platform.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC7813, a dual output (boost + buck), low quiescent current synchronous DC/DC controller. When cascaded, its independent step-up (boost) and step-down (buck) controllers regulate the output voltage from an input voltage that can be above, below, or equal to the output voltage, including during an automotive load dump or cold crank.

Modelithics Inc., the industry leader in simulation models for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave devices, has just released a new version of The Modelithics® COMPLETE Library, version 16.0, formatted for use with Keysight EEsof EDA Advanced Design System (ADS) simulation software from Keysight Technologies.

Skyworks introduced two new broadband, 75 ohm MMIC front-end, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) designed specifically for set-top box applications: the SKY65450-92LF (with bypass mode) and the SKY65452-92LF. 

Ericsson and Telefónica, a telecommunications operator headquartered in Madrid, demonstrated live, over-the-air delivery of LTE-U through Telefónica's network. The demonstration used an Ericsson indoor picocell (RBS 6402) with LTE-U software.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces its attendance and participation at EDI CON 2016, including its sponsorships of the GaN Panel and Small Cell Workshop. EDI CON is an industry-driven conference/exhibition targeting RF, microwave, EMC/EMI, and high-speed digital design engineers and system integrators developing products for today's communication, computing, RFID, wireless, navigation, aerospace and related markets.

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. announced that during its second quarter of fiscal 2016, its New York-based subsidiary, Comtech PST Corp., received multiple orders totaling approximately $2.2 million for broadband, solid-state, high-power RF microwave amplifier systems from an international OEM.

Anite has announced that its Propsim F32 Channel Emulator supports advanced MIMO OTA mobile device testing using a Multi Probe Anechoic Chamber methodology as recommended by 3GPP.

DragonWave Inc. and Mitel announced a joint initiative focused on advancing the development of 5G networking.

The evolution toward 4.5G and 5G will be imminently accompanied by substantial network densification and massive deployments of small cells. The trend will completely transform the backhaul market and create tremendous opportunities for wireless backhaul links. ABI Research, the leader in transformative technology innovation market intelligence, forecasts that the market will deploy more than one million Sub-6 GHz licensed backhaul links by 2020.
