For the first time, Korean researchers have successfully demonstrated a 6G hyper-space communication technology that integrates terrestrial and satellite networks. As a core infrastructure for the future 6G era, it is being evaluated as a green light for securing the lead in 6G international standardization.... Read more

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in conjunction with the Marine Corps Expeditionary Energy Office (E2O); the Operational Energy Capability Improvement Fund with the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment; Aerostar; and Lockheed Martin conducted a technical demonstration held at Outlying Landing Field Seagle in...

Cell-free (CF) MIMO networks are emerging as a key B5G/6G technology for improved connectivity, spectral efficiency, and service quality. A recent study proposes a novel CF-MIMO signal detector that can reduce energy consumption by up to 58%.... Read more

In recent decades, communication technology has advanced at unprecedented speed. A key breakthrough is semantic communications—a shift from transmitting raw data to conveying semantic meaning. For example, in image transmission, meaning takes priority over pixel-level accuracy. By integrating user tasks into the communication process, semantic communications improve both efficiency and...

AT&T will spend $23 billion to acquire certain wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar, a significant expansion of AT&T's low- and mid-band coverage networks.... Read more

Addressing a major roadblock in next-generation photonic computing and signal processing systems, researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a device that can bridge digital electronic signals and analog light signals in one fluid step.... Read more

Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has successfully demonstrated a 200 Gbps 6G wireless link using a proof-of-concept (PoC) system developed late last year. The 6G system developed by ETRI uses an ultra-wide bandwidth of 10 GHz around 160 GHz in the sub-terahertz (sub-THz) band.... Read more

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully localized core radar stealth technologies through indigenous development, without reliance on foreign technologies. This achievement is a significant milestone, laying the foundation for the establishment of stealth weapon systems in Korea, which have long been difficult to import due to... Read more

A newly published paper by Dr. Asaf Tzachor, Dean of Reichman University's School of Sustainability, warns that the backbone of our global internet infrastructure—submarine communication cables—is dangerously vulnerable to both natural disasters and deliberate sabotage, posing systemic risks to international communication, commerce, and security....

MIT researchers have developed a reconfigurable antenna that dynamically adjusts its frequency range by changing its physical shape, making it more versatile for communications and sensing than static antennas.... Read more

High frequency radio waves can wirelessly carry the vast amount of data demanded by emerging technology like virtual reality, but as engineers push into the upper reaches of the radio spectrum, they are hitting walls. Literally.... Read more

AOL's dial-up internet is finally taking its last bow.... Read more

With digital devices powering every aspect of life and business, telecommunications providers are going neck and neck to provide faster internet speeds at scale―using fiber technology as a linchpin.... Read more

Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems transmit electrical energy from a power source to a load without physical connectors or wires, using electromagnetic fields. This idea goes as far back as the 1890s, when Nikola Tesla famously experimented with wireless energy transmission.... Read more

Researchers at EPFL and Harvard University have engineered a chip that can convert between electromagnetic pulses in the terahertz and optical ranges on the same device. Their integrated design could enable the development of devices for ultrafast telecommunications, ranging, spectroscopy, and computing.... Read more
