Sub10 Systems has announced that it has signed a global supply and distribution agreement with Alcatel-Lucent, under which Sub10's millimetre wave Liberator radio links will be used by Alcatel-Lucent as part of its metro cell backhaul solutions, which are used to provide links to mobile network radios in densely populated locations.
Sub10 Systems, the Devon, UK-based manufacturer of high speed wireless data communications links, today announced a mutual distribution partnership with Swedish manufacturer Repeatit. Under the terms of the agreement, Sub10 Systems will market, promote and sell the Repeatit range of products to enterprise, telecoms and networking customers worldwide.
The Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig) – the industry group for 60GHz – has published v1.1 of its certification-ready multi-gigabit wireless specification. The new specification addresses enhancements identified by member companies during the product development process.
Anritsu’s latest offering is the ME7838A broadband vector network analyser (VNA) that provides single-sweep coverage from 70 kHz to 110 GHz with operation from 40 kHz to 125 GHz, and eliminates the need for large, heavy millimeter wave (mmWave) modules and coax combiners. The ME7838A conducts accurate and efficient broadband device characterisation of active and passive microwave/mmWave devices, including those designed into emerging 60 GHz wireless personal area networks (WPANs), 40 Gbps and higher optical networks, 77 and 94 GHz automotive radar, digital radio links, 94 GHz imaging mmWave radar, and Ka-Band satellite communications. With the ME7838A design, mmWave modules can be mounted close to or directly on the wafer probe, making accurate calibration easy. This advantage, as well as the fact that the ME7838A transitions at 54 GHz, gives the broadband VNA the widest dynamic range in its class – 107 dB at 110 GHz and 92 dB at 125 GHz.
M/A-COM Technology Solutions (M/A-COM Tech) and Mimix Broadband have announced that they are merging, in a move that M/A-COM Tech says will expand its high frequency semiconductor portfolio solutions and accelerate growth. Under the new arrangement Mimix and its subsidiaries will become part of the M/A-COM Tech family of companies.
