Nova Telecom has partnered with Cambridge Broadband Networks Limited to launch a new enterprise grade fixed wireless service in Ireland.

Blue Danube Systems has introduced its second-generation, 5G-ready massive MIMO system, the BeamCraft™ 600 series.

Integra Technologies has released a fully-matched, GaN on SiC transistor that delivers 50 W from 5 to 6 GHz.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced its development of the REESA (Rotational Element Electronically Scanned Array) antenna, a small, low-cost array antenna that achieves high-precision beam scanning by electronically rotating antenna elements individually.

Fairview Microwave Inc. has introduced a new line of calibrated noise sources most commonly used as a precision reference source to measure system level noise figure. Specific applications may involve increasing the dynamic range of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) by dithering and reducing correlated noise, system and component wireless testing, signal simulation, evaluating analog and DOCSYS CATV systems and simulation of RF jamming systems for missile guidance.
