Wireless

Hardware-based trust anchors are key for connected applications and smart services, whether for a robotic arm in the smart factory or automated air conditioning in a private home. The new OPTIGA Trust M solution from Infineon Technologies helps manufacturers to enhance the security of their devices while at the same time improving overall system performance. 

Here, Phil Whitehurst, CEO of Actisense, has offered his insights on the relationship between marine electronics and WiFi, drawing on over 30 years’ experience. WiFi is becoming more prominent throughout marine electronics. Its uses range from allowing the leisure boat user to access internet-based entertainment, through to enabling commercial ship operators to monitor navigational data away from the ship. 

Due to the rising connectivity of mobile devices, industrial applications, smart home applications and vehicles, the importance of wireless technology for data communication increases continuously. Nearly every innovative and smart application benefits from wireless technology which is continuously improved and optimised. 

Skyworks has introduced the SKY85774-11, a highly integrated 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) that supports simultaneous WLAN and licensed assisted access (LAA) protocols for mobile smartphones and tablets. This advanced module incorporates a power amplifier, low-noise amplifier with bypass, and an SPDT transmit/receive switch.

RF Solutions has announced the launch of the new product, the ‘LoRaLyser’. The LoRaLyser is a plug and play dongle, which plugs into an Android smartphone/ tablet (running an-droid) and provides various graphical displays and information on RF Signals.

The massive network of connected devices and sensors known as the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an increasingly swifter rate as new technologies provide unprecedented connectivity to more and more devices. By Jonathan Kaye Senior Director, Product Management at Laird Connectivity

Digi International has announced that its Digi WR54, an extremely reliable, secure, high-performance wireless router for complex mobile and industrial environments, is now tested and approved for use on the FirstNet communications platform.

Centrifugation is a process that separates mixtures through centrifugal force. Centrifuges are commonly used in food processing and medical research for protein, genetic and cellular analysis. In medical laboratory settings, centrifugation involves spinning medical samples at a fast rate to filter or concentrate substances based on differing densities. Dense components migrate away from the centre axis, while less dense components migrate towards the axis.

Digi International has announced its family of Digi Connect IT serial consoles: Digi Connect IT Mini, Digi Connect IT 4, Digi Connect IT 16 and Digi Connect IT 48. These infrastructure management solutions are suitable to connect remote IT devices in the data center or to connect customer premises equipment, like routers, in a branch office with options from a single device to fully populated racks.

Cambridge Communication Systems (CCS) has welcomed the latest recommendations by The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations Electronic Communications Committee (CEPT ECC), which open up the 60GHz mmWave unlicensed band for Gigabit Fixed Wireless Access in Europe and pave the way for ubiquitous deployment of unlicensed 60GHz technology.
