#5G #NTIA #absidenetworks #nokia #openran #ejlwireless Congratulations to the project winners of the NTIA NOFO2 SRFA1! Abside Networks, Inc. was awarded the most funding (USD $46.8 million) yet was mentioned second on the list. Alphabetically and by awarded size, they should have been listed at the top! Since the list did not rank by funding size, or company name WHY is JMA Wireless listed at the top [Sen. Chuck Schumer 🤔 ] even though they were awarded the third highest amount (USD $43.9 million)??? Also since this is essentially for US startups (even though foreign companies can apply) , WHY is Nokia even on this list to develop and O-RU??? Do they not even have enough money or resources to fund this internally like EVERY OTHER OEM around the world? And WHY were they awarded the proposed maximum amount of USD $45 million EXACTLY? Look at every other amount awarded on the list. And they were mentioned at the BOTTOM of the list as in, oh yeah, we also gave the second largest amount to a company who doesn't need it. For Eridan, naming their project "The Miracle RU" is raising the expectations bar extremely high! EJL Wireless Research is expecting a 64k QAM multi-octave IBW/OBW Zero bit/Negative Watt small cell radio using ambient RF energy harvesting for the USD $36.8 million being awarded. https://lnkd.in/e72kdEbK

Reflecting on the transformative technological advancements of the 1980s has left me in awe of the incredible progress made during that era. 🤯 The Ericsson Technology Review, now celebrating 100 years, played a pivotal role in showcasing these innovations. Discovering that sustainability was a key focus for Ericsson in the 80s is inspiring. 🌱 The introduction of the Ericsson SunWind in 1982, utilizing solar and wind power for telecommunications equipment, truly demonstrates their forward-thinking approach. The developments in Fiber Optics and the launch of TELE-X (the Nordic satellite for TV and data communication), the comfort of pocket phones for making calls on the go, were all testaments to the world's dedication to innovation and convenience - all showcased in the Ericsson Technology Review. 🚀 As I reflect on these advancements, I'm curious to hear from you. What technological innovation from the 1980s continues to inspire you today? 😉 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dykRC28d #EricssonTechnologyReview #Innovation #Technology #Connectivity #TeamEricsson

A team of researchers at Japan's NICT achieved a groundbreaking data-rate record in optical fiber, setting a new standard for telecommunications. They developed novel optical gain equalizers, unlocking previously unused wavelength bands and enhancing communication capacity. The team transmitted a dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) signal with up to 1,505 channels over a 50 km optical fiber, achieving a remarkable 402 terabytes per second (Tb/s) data transfer rate. This innovative technology has the potential to expand optical transmission bandwidth, meeting the increasing demand for data services. This breakthrough paves the way for faster and more efficient data transmission, pushing the boundaries of optical fiber technology. The possibilities are vast, and this achievement is a testament to the potential of telecommunications research. . . . #speed #opticalfibre #TB #tribunetrends
