Ultra-Wideband Becomes a Worldwide Technology
WiMedia-based Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology is entering a critical period during which the spectrum environment in the three major geographic regions can and should reach a level of interoperability that will assure UWB’s global utilization. The key issue in each region is interference with existing applications and the three key players in each region – the United States, the European Union and Japan – have each made strides in this area with help from key industry players such as the WiMedia Alliance.
The Base Station Evolution - Moving Through the Four Ages of the Base Station
From the analogue age, to the digital age, to today’s 3G, mobile base stations have evolved to offer more performance and lower costs. The pace of change in mobile technology is accelerating and to meet the coming challenges, open standards are heralding a new age of innovation. Tero Mustala, Chairperson of the Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (OBSAI) and Dr. Peter Kenington, technical chair of OBSAI discusses the evolution of the base station.
Handsets of the Future Require Technology Development Today
By 2009, most mobile terminals will be equipped to handle multimedia using numerous wireless access technologies. In order to be ready, RF designers need to begin innovating today.
