“This continues to be a tough time for many people, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) along with the US Naval Observatory (USNO) wants to continue to do everything possible to help citizens navigate the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic,” said NIST Spokesperson, Judah Lovin of the NIST Time, Frequency and Holiday Division.

In these uncertain times, with over 100 million Americans reportedly under “stay at home” orders, the global economy is under unprecedented stress. In the US alone, over 4 million have filed for unemployment benefits already, and more expected in the coming weeks. Increased unemployment has its own health consequences. So there is a clear need to allow people to work safely from home while still going back to work even in factories, stores and service industries.  The 5th Generation wireless systems,

The 5th Generation wireless system, under development the world over and in early deployment in the United States, promises substantially improved peak data rates, lower latency and generally much better responsiveness and even some improved energy efficiencies. But today, Spectrum Financial Partners, LLC announces recent 5G developments to solve the challenge of Global Climate Change.

Wireless Service Providers the world over have been developing and testing wireless systems using the emerging fifth generation wireless technologies. Some, like AT&T and Verizon Wireless, wasted no time announcing plans to roll out 5G trials in several U.S. cities this year. Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, ZTE and Huawei, as well as chipset manufacturers Intel, Qualcomm, Qorvo and many others, are racing to provide the Gbps throughput and near 1 msec latencies that 5G promises. But what is it for?

Wireless Service providers the world over have been able to continue to support the impressive growth of wireless data traffic, up 74% in 2015 globally and 55% in North America. The 5th generation wireless standardization effort aims to greatly increase the capacity of wireless networks for another decade, but there remains a poorly addressed problem of wireless systems, until now.

The Federal Communications Commission announces new plans to auction additional radio spectrum to raise federal general funds that will be used to reduce the federal deficit. In agreements with both political party caucuses, the vast quantities of spectrum are to be auctioned by the end of 2016. This is in addition to the previously announced incentive auction below 700 MHz.

The electronics industry is responding to environmental concerns about power consumption and the reuse of electronic components and materials with increasing focus.  According to a joint study by MIT and National Center for Electronics Recycling three major initiatives for improving the environmental impact of electronics is to; ReDesign, ReCycle and ReUse. 

Alcatel-Lucent today announced the development of the next stage in wireless communications, which promises to greatly improve throughput and user experience for users of this new device.

Alcatel-Lucent today announced the discovery of vastly more frequency spectra than previously thought to exist. This discovery promises to effectively solve the so called "spectrum crunch" for the foreseeable future.

Alcatel-Lucent today announced, an innovative new approach to virtually eliminate bandwidth limitations in wireless data networks. Called Ultra-Lite radio, it removes the network elements that are the bottleneck in modern data communications.

Alcatel-Lucent today announced a new approach to sustainable power management that promises to revolutionize data network power efficiency, and alter the role of telecommunications in the energy ecosystem.
