À quelques jours du Mobile World Congress 2025 de Barcelone, Qualcomm frappe fort en dévoilant ses ambitions pour la 6G. John Smee, vice-président senior de l'ingénierie chez le géant américain des semi-conducteurs, qualifie 2025 d'année clé, marquant le début de la standardisation officielle de cette nouvelle génération de réseaux. Une annonce qui peut surprendre, alors que la 5G n'a pas encore atteint son plein potentiel.Qualcomm n'attend pas. Sa stratégie repose sur une intégration massive de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) dans les réseaux et les appareils. L'entreprise travaille déjà avec Nokia Bell Labs et Rhode & Schwarz pour démontrer les avantages des réseaux optimisés par l'IA. L'objectif ? Rendre les réseaux plus intelligents et plus adaptatifs, capables de réagir en temps réel à la charge du trafic, à l'interférence et à la mobilité des utilisateurs. Cette approche repose sur des protocoles natifs d'IA, qui permettront d'optimiser les performances réseau en fonction des applications et des besoins individuels. Une avancée qui profitera également à la 5G Advanced, lancée l'an dernier avec la version 3GPP Release 18, et qui constitue une étape intermédiaire avant l'arrivée de la 6G.Qualcomm mise aussi sur l'évolution des systèmes MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) pour exploiter une nouvelle bande de fréquences, la FR3, située entre 7 et 15 GHz. Cette bande intermédiaire pourrait offrir jusqu'à 400 MHz de bande passante supplémentaire, avec des débits améliorés et une couverture comparable aux fréquences inférieures à 7 GHz. Les premiers tests du système Giga-MIMO FR3 sont prometteurs : ils montrent des gains significatifs en vitesse et en couverture. De son côté, Samsung et Arm, qui planchent aussi sur la 6G, estiment que cette nouvelle technologie pourrait atteindre des vitesses records de 1 térabit par seconde grâce au traitement parallèle de poche. Positionnée entre la bande FR1 (sub-6GHz) et la bande FR2 (au-dessus de 24 GHz), la FR3 se distingue par sa faible latence, son adaptabilité aux objets connectés (IoT) et sa capacité à transmettre des volumes massifs de données. Avec cette feuille de route, Qualcomm entend bien façonner l'avenir de la connectivité mobile et prendre une longueur d'avance dans la course à la 6G. Hébergé par Acast.

ドコモ、「つながりやすさ」向上へ次の手を打つ　「エリアの広さ」に加わる要素は？。　NTTドコモの前田義晃社長は11月7日の決算会見で、通信品質の向上に向けた取り組みを明かした。ドコモは5G専用に割り当てられた6GHz帯以下の周波数帯であるSub6について都市部を中心に整備してきた。今後はエリアの広さと、ネットワークの厚みで、通信品質を向上する。

The world is steadily moving on to Wi-Fi 7 (or 802.11be, if you like), so we figured it's about time we sit down and attempt to understand what separates this latest standard from all the wireless fidelity that came before. Where in the world did they get a number like 46Gbps? What are the forward- and backward-compatible implications with existing devices? How does "multi-link operation" work? Is it time to run out and upgrade yet? What's haunting Brad's access point? We do our best to answer all this and more.The article referenced in this episode: https://dongknows.com/wi-fi-7-explained/Our original Wi-Fi 6 episode (which was episode 9!): https://techpod.content.town/episodes/9-orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple-access-Sb_AgiQeOur more recent networking primer from early this year: https://techpod.content.town/episodes/227-a-donut-of-good-internet-UAno2S2L Support the Pod!

Musk heeft op zijn sociale mediaplatform X laten weten dat er twee nieuwe prijsopties aankomen voor het Premium abonnement van X. De huidige variant kost 8 dollar, waarbij de gebruiker minder reclames krijg en extra functies. Hoeveel de nieuwe abonnementen gaan kosten is nog niet bekend, wel zegt Musk op X dat er een duurdere variant en een goedkopere optie van het Premium abonnement komt. Volgens Musk zouden de nieuwe abonnementsopties binnenkort beschikbaar komen. De duurdere variant krijgt dezelfde extra functies als het huidige abonnement, maar is helemaal reclamevrij. Het goedkopere abonnement krijgt juist meer reclames, evenveel als het gratis model. Maar de extra functies, zoals langere posts en achteraf bewerken, zijn dan wel te gebruiken.

Three crafty ways YOU can get around Netflix's crackdown on password sharing Netflix finally cracked down on password sharing this week, sending 'freeloaders' hysterical — but savvy users have already come up with an easy workaround. Full article … Just don't log on to Netflix via your smart TV or streaming box - Netflix defines what they think of as your household by the preferences you manage on the main TV you use, whether it's a smart TV, like Roku, or a streaming box, like AppleTV or Amazon Fire Stick.  Set-up auto-forwarding for the email verification codes - Netflix set up a roadblock and sends the account's primary owner a verification code every time they or someone else tries to log on from a new wireless network. There are many easy ways to have all those verification number emails, from info@account.netflix.com, auto-forwarded to your distant, beloved household members and friends Log-in on the account holder's Wi-Fi - Because Netflix uses the IP address and wireless of the primary account holder as part of its definition of the household, you should be in great shape if you can log into Netflix, at least once in while, from the Wi-Fi connection at the account owner's home. Best OLED TVs in 2023: LG, Samsung, Sony and more The best OLED TVs are coveted for their excellent picture reproduction, phenomenal motion processing and top-of-the-line upscaling. With unbeatable black levels and perfect contrast, they offer a cinema-like experience for not that much more money than a traditional LED-LCD or QLED TV. Full article here… Wifi 6E Do you Need it? Wifi is a big part of our home theaters. Not everyone has a wired connection at every entertainment area or speaker location. So wifi picks up the slack. As we have seen first hand, too many devices result in some wonky wifi. And with so many devices requiring a network connection we need some way to get all our devices connected. Is Wifi 6E the solution? So what is Wifi 6E? Well for this we have to go back to April of 2020 when the FCC opened up the 6GHz frequencies for unlicensed use. That opened up 21 new channels for compatible devices to use! If you are using a Wifi 6 device you are still fighting over the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies although it makes better use of them. What are the benefits? Speed  > 1Gbps Latency  < 1ms Only devices that support Wifi 6E are here. 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies  are used on all other wifi protocols WPA 3 is mandatory for all Wi-Fi 6(E) Certified. As a result, 6GHz WiFi traffic is more secure than ever and 6GHz networks are harder to hack. Wifi Sleeping allows devices to go to sleep and free up the spectrum for other devices. This also increases battery life What devices are supported? (Partial List) Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Xiaomi Mi 11 Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2023) or MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023) Mac mini (2023) iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation) or iPad Pro 12.9 inch (6th generation) Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6E $1100 Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 $550 Linksys Atlas Max 6E $800 TP-Link Archer AXE75 $180 (no Mesh system available) Do you need it? If you are a gamer and want super low latency and don't have a hard wired setup, yes.  If you have an entertainment center and have no way of physically connecting to the network, maybe. You'll only get the benefit if your TV or set top box supports it. You may be better off waiting until more devices support it and prices come down.  However, for more basic, household use, a typical mesh system will work just fine.

Our latest RP2040 Board has an RFM69 or LoRa radio module on it, and to make it easy for folks to use external antennas for good range, we added a uFL connector (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/11/30/the-great-search-ufl-connector-thegreatsearch-digikey-adafruit-rf-wifi-digikey-adafruit/). These common RF antenna connectors are good for up to 6GHz or so, and are nearly universal. However, for larger antennas such as those for 433MHz or 900MHz signals, we may want to have a large stick antenna which is panel mounted. For those situations we'll want to connect a standard SMA-type antenna! SMA connectors can also be on a PCB but they're pretty big and are not SMT so it's common to use a uFL to SMA adapter cable. Where to get those? Why, Digi-Key, of course!

Intuitively, I know that arm devices pull significantly less power than amd64 machines but I've never really tested this in the real world. So, some preliminary power consumption stats: big amd64 laptops (thinkpad x220 and t490) pull at most 65 watts small arm SOCs typically pull at most 15 watts most android phones pull at most 18 watts Pentium 4 pulls at most 250 watts These numbers are fairly easy to find: just look at the power supply for a MAXIMUM OUTPUT value or something similar. This is the point at which the power supply fails so we can safely assume this is the maximum power draw for any given computer. Of course, this is DC output and not AC output and anyone who knows anything about electricity knows that converting AC to DC is expensive but these values are useful as a general estimate. I wrote something similar about computer power consumption some time ago My goal in all of this was to find a self contained computer that runs UNIX, doesn't take much power, isn't a consumption rectangle (smartphone), and can be charged from both AC with a rectifier and stored DC without an inverter. Charging from existing stored power was probably the most novel consideration. Everything else is a given. A few obvious answers come to mind: Raspberry Pi 4 is not self contained and using a pitop in public is a good way to get the bomb squad called on you beaglebone black is good too but neither self contained nor popular enough for wide OS support Pinebook Pro is self contained and is supported by some of the operating systems I'd like to run The PBP is an obvious choice. It's an open hardware ARM laptop that can be charged via a barrel cable (AC->DC) or via USB-C. Charging from USB-C is a very useful feature because it means I can easily choose between charging from the mains where efficiency loss is acceptable and charging from a DC source where efficiency loss is unacceptable. The actual use case is "what computer can I run off of a old car battery or the alternator in my car without burning power with an inverter?". I'll revisit this use case in a later section. Initial notes I took these notes immediately upon opening the PBP. They remain unedited because I want to be honest on the first impressions. shipping I was worried about DHL dropping my package out of a plane. Or leaving it out in the rain. Or having one of the employees use it as a soccer ball. Or having the thing get stuck in customs. It ended up arriving safely and was packaged well. Two boxes within a padded envelope within another envelope. Surprising for DHL. hardware impressions Touchpad sucks and trackpad scrolling sucks (it's probably just KDE). Installing synaptics drivers allegedly fix this problem. keyboard is comfortable, clickly, full sized despite being a chicklet keyboard. I don't like that the and keys are backwards when compared to a thinkpad. I really like the thinkpad keyboard layout. Shift+enter seems to type the M character. My muscle memory for key chording is now broken. This appears to be a fundamental design flaw with KDE. Passively cooled, gets a bit warm. display is sharp (IPS) and almost too high resolution for my eyes (1920x1080 instead of 1366x768). I can fix this in software. enabling/disabling mic/wifi/camera through the keyboard is confusing and (seemingly) does not perform the "kill switch" via hotplugging like the Thinkpad X220's wifi kill switch. Charger comes with both US and EU prongs. software impressions it's manjaro :( it's KDE :( it comes with mpv :) bluez instead of bluetoothd :( firewalld instead of UFW WiFi dongle. To get around no RJ45 port, I use a USB->RJ45 adapter. I have an ASIX ax88772 dongle (UGREEN branded but I'm not sure that matters). Both of these dongles seem to work with every single operating system and hardware configuration I've tried them with. Arm is strange, so we must boot from an SD card (running any OS, in my case NetBSD) in order to burn an image to the internal storage. From a separate machine, the options passed to dd are important. $ wget https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.3/evbarm-aarch64/binary/gzimg/arm64.img.gz $ wget http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/.9.0_2022Q2_pkgbuild/All/u-boot-pinebook-pro-2022.01nb1.tgz $ gunzip ./arm64.img $ tar xzf ./u-boot-pinebook-pro-2022.01nb1.tgz $ sudo umount /dev/sdx* $ sudo dd if=./arm64.img of=/dev/sdx status=progress conv=fsync bs=1M $ sudo sync $ sudo dd if=./u-boot-pinebook-pro-2022.01nb1/share/u-boot/pinebook-pro/rksd_loader.img of=/dev/sdx seek=64 conv=sync status=progress $ sudo sync $ sudo eject /dev/sdx And, to install NetBSD to the internal EMMC, the process is similar. NetBSD's version of dd varies slightly but the options passed are important. # ftp https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-9.3/evbarm-aarch64/binary/gzimg/arm64.img.gz # gunzip ./arm64.img # dd if=./arm64.img of=/dev/rl0d conv=sync bs=1m # sync # PKG_PATH="http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/aarch64/9.3/All/" pkg_add pkgin # pkgin install u-boot-pinebook-pro # sudo dd if=/usr/pkg/share/u-boot/pinebook-pro/rksd_loader.img of=/dev/rld0 seek=64 conv=sync # sync # reboot And, some more desktop centric things after booting from EMMC: # passwd # echo "postfix=NO" >> /etc/rc.conf # echo "xdm=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf Installing pkgin (and some packages): # PKG_PATH="https://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/aarch64/9.3/All/" pkg_add pkgin # sed -i'' -e 's/9.0/9.3/g' /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf # pkgin install vim git mozilla-rootcerts mozilla-rootcerts-openssl The rest is NetBSD specific and I've avoided getting into it here because it doesn't have anything to do with the PBP. Performance The PBP has 6 cores (2 fast, 4 slow) and 4gb ram. The cpu is fairly slow but entirely usable. On large procedural jobs like software compilation, it's painful. For concurrent jobs, it's mostly fine. Compiler performance As expected, the PBP is slower when it comes to compilation than a standard amd64 machine. Surprisingly enough, NetBSD was significantly slower than Manjaro. This is likely due to the Linux kernel knowing how to better handle multiple CPUs with varying speeds. sequential jobs I used plan9port because it's a fairly large but portable project. Compilation is largely sequential, invokes many standard shell utilities, and involves extra preprocessor steps to convert 9 C into something a standard UNIX compiler like GCC or Clang can compile. On a T490 - 8th gen Core i7 (4 cores, 8 threads, 4.8GHz, vPro for maximum thermal output): real 232.51 (~4 minutes) user 188.07 sys 65.01 On an X220 - 2nd gen Core i5 (2 cores, 4 threads, 2.6GHz, vPro for maximum thermal output): real 249.98 (~4 minutes) user 220.33 sys 65.52 On the PBP (2 2.0GHz cores + 4 1.5GHz cores, no CPU fan for maximum thermal output) (running stock Manjaro image): real 1355.27 (~22 minutes) user 1178.47 sys 347.71 On the PBP (2 2.0GHz cores + 4 1.5GHz cores, no CPU fan for maximum thermal output) (running NetBSD): real 3715.24 (~60 minutes) user 1946.84 sys 3435.29 concurrent jobs I used vim because it can be built in parallel without causing any issues. Same 8th gen Core i7 (make -j7): real 27.36 user 170.21 sys 11.30 Same 2nd gen Core i5 (make -j7, approaching the exponential decay of marginal returns on concurrent processing): real 77.07 user 292.46 sys 10.00 On the PBP (make -j7) (running stock Manjaro image): real 220.60 user 1145.40 sys 59.90 On the PBP (make -j7) (running NetBSD): real 319.30 user 1560.87 sys 255.33 Web browser testing Because the PBP has similar hardware specifications to the adware subsidized craptops sold by google, I thought it would be a good idea to compare web browser performance on these systems as well. I found a few web browser benchmark tests at browserbench.org. They're probably snakeoil but running JS tests is a good way to put a number on how performant $browser on $hardware is. Scores from the JetStream2 test JetStream 2.1 is a JavaScript and WebAssembly benchmark suite focused on the most advanced web applications. It rewards browsers that start up quickly, execute code quickly, and run smoothly. For more information, read the in-depth analysis. Bigger scores are better. Thinkpad T490 79.555 Thinkpad X220 39.983 PBP (manjaro) 19.148 I don't have an chromesumption book to test against, so all I can say is that the PBP is slower than a workhorse amd64 machine when it comes to interpreting javascript. Conclusion Did the PBP fulfill it's needs? The intended use case was "UNIX machine I can charge from an existing battery or alternator". This immediately invokes ideas of "why would I even need wifi support?" Ultimately, I ended up flashing a bad image to the SPI flash chip and I cannot get the system to boot (or even show signs of life). I have attempted to enter maskrom mode to re-flash the SPI but I am unsuccessful. There are a few other things I need to try. I'll update this if I ever get it functional again. I did not have the opportunity to test the machine in the exact environment I got it for but it was fun before I bricked it. Again, a place for updates. Who is the PBP for? HACKERS! Obviously, the types of people who are interested in pine64 devices and similar SBCs are already computer owners (if not computer hoarders). It's unlikely that the PBP will become my (or anyone's) primary computer but that doesn't mean that it's useless. The entire point of arm SBCs is to have fun so why not have fun? Just don't flash your SPI if you want it to work as expected. Some final thoughts on open hardware Oftentimes, before purchasing freedom centric hardware, I search for a few reviews so that I can set my expectations correctly. Oftentimes these reviews are very epidermal: they're not even skin deep. These reviewers are consumers producing reviews for a consumer audience, not hackers producing in-depth reviews for hacker audience. These types of reviews are frustrating for me but fundamental flaws seem to shine through the lack of thoroughness. I think that the general negative reviews on open hardware largely stem from unrealistic expectations. The community seems to over-hype many of these devices out of ignorance, stating that $freedomDevice is the $proprietaryAlternative killer, the end all be all device that will usher in the year of the Linux $deviceCategory. Oftentimes, it seems like the high expectations fall flat when confronted with the reality of open hardware: it's either way too expensive or way too experimental. It seems like many of these devices are lacking both developer time and users who are both enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Pitfalls of mobile UNIX include bad power management, difficulty hotplugging wireless chipsets, graphical interfaces attempting to cope with the fact that they don't have a physical keyboard, etc. There is still much work to be done. As for users, it seems that the most enthusiastic users always have the impression that $linuxDevice will have 1:1 feature parity with $proprietaryDevice. Maybe it's just that the loudest users are heard or that we only want to hear utopian dreams of a free software future. A prime example of this conflict between expectations and reality: Linux smartphones. It doesn't help when many linux smartphones over the years were advertised as a viable android competitor rather than anything other than what they actually were: an arm board attached to a touch screen and a modem. I oftentimes ask myself "what is open source worth?". How much money are you willing to throw at an idea you like? Surely, money thrown at an idea you like is being used better than money thrown at an idea you don't like. In many cases, it seems like open hardware devices are more expensive than their proprietary counterparts for a few reasons. The two largest reasons are small batch manufacturing and the fact that open hardware isn't subsidized by pre-installed adware (in the case of nearly every device that comes pre-loaded with proprietary software). What is open source worth? A few extra dollars, a few extra hours of configuration, a few extra papercuts, and a clean conscious knowing that I didn't pay for yet another windows license I will never use and will never get a refund for. Open source is worth investing in because the, albeit slow, improvements to open hardware and software have wider implications than just "buying a laptop with Linux pre installed". Future projects something with the raspi NetBSD in depth "why is my lightbulb running android?" and other Internet-Of-Terror ideas turning a router into a general purpose computing device (probably MIPS because where else am I going to find a MIPS CPU? Might as well do something novel instead of $arm-project-1209)

Nextlink Internet has been able to push gigabit-level speeds over fixed wireless access (FWA) in a limited fashion, but is now looking to scale up and expand that capability by tapping into fresh spectrum in the 6GHz band. That band, already supported in the home in the Wi-Fi6E standard, is poised to become an important data conduit for FWA as the FCC works out some final details on how that band will accommodate both new and legacy users. As the FCC irons out some of those details, Nextlink Internet has already conducted FWA tests in the 6GHz band using an experimental license. Nextlink's test showed that throughputs in excess of 1Gbit/s downstream and 500Mbit/s upstream were achievable via a 160MHz channel at a distance of two miles using access points from Cambium Networks powered by Qualcomm silicon. Claude Aiken, the recently appointed chief strategy officer and chief legal officer of Nextlink Internet, recently joined the Light Reading podcast to discuss the trial in more detail, what's likely to come next, and to provide an update on the regulatory landscape for the 6GHz band for fixed wireless access. Nextlink, which also provides fiber-based broadband services and participated in the CBRS auction, is "really taking an all-of-the-above approach to spectrum access," said Aiken, an industry vet who most recently served as the president and CEO of the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA). "We want to be able to utilize this [6GHz spectrum], and put this in our toolkit as soon as possible … We're pretty bullish about what this spectrum means for high-speed, rural fixed wireless service." FWA in the 6GHz band will use automated frequency coordination (AFC) to mitigate interference in the band with incumbent users. But Aiken contends that the implementation for the 6GHz band is "much simpler" than the complications that the industry had to overcome in the CBRS band. — Jeff Baumgartner, Senior Editor, Light Reading See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's EYE ON NPI lifts up its skinny arms like antennas to heaven - it's the Taoglas family of Wide Band Antennas, featuring the Taoglas WARRIORX PA.760.A (https://www.digikey.com/short/td8wnqd2) with a chonky 600MHz-6000MHz range of functionality, for use with almost any kind of IoT wireless protocol. Wide band antennas are needed these days because we've moved from simple cellular devices like 2G/GSM that use at most a 'quad band' of 850/900/1800/1900MHz (which you'll note has two narrow bands that are 2x the frequency) in order to cover the globe, to multi-band and multi-protocol modules. If you have something with LTE which has close to 100 different bands (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands) that span from 700 MHz up to 2.6GHz (https://www.sqimway.com/lte_band.php) depending on the LTE Category they cover. Lower categories carry data slower like simple machine IoT signals but farther, higher categories carry faster data like video but cant reach very far. You could also use this sort of antenna for multi-protocol IoT devices. Lets say you have a horse farm in Ireland (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=irish+horse+farm) you want to monitor. You've got 50 horses, roaming your property. You want to know their location so you can locate them, maybe some details like their temperature and recent activity (e.g. an accelerometer). Since you're a ways out from the city, you may want to use a combination of WiFi if they are within a couple miles of the farm, cellular if they're a few miles away but still within LTE Cat 1M range, and LoRaWan if they're a good ways out. (In this particular case we aren't outfitting the horses with satellite connectivity). WiFi is free, LTE is fairly inexpensive but reliable if within range, LoRaWan is lower reliability but can be used in a meshing setup. Each one has a different frequency band: 2.4GHz for WiFi, maybe 1.9GHz for LTE, and 900MHz for LoRa. Let's say you invent such a thing, and now horse lovers around the world are clamoring, nay, DEMANDING you sell them your ingenious invention. With GSM, you can easily deploy worldwide with a single design. But with LTE you'll need to make sure each country you ship to can support the cellular module you've chosen. You may end up swapping similar-package-but-different-frequency-band modules for Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, etc. However, you can stick with that same Taoglas antenna! These antennas are SMT, pick-and-place friendly, so you can use them in plastic enclosures without knobbly external antennas that catch on things. This allows for very slim, compact designs like this Taoglas EDGE module (https://www.taoglas.com/product/ec55-system-on-module/) or waterproof/weatherproof cases. Picking the right antenna will get you better battery life, better range, and faster response times for 'free', so its important to give one with the best gain you can get. Best of all, the full range of different Taoglas antennas, including the Taoglas WARRIORX PA.760.A (https://www.digikey.com/short/td8wnqd2), are available on Digi-Key for immediate shipment. Order today and you can be blasting with a bandwidth wider than a horse's butt by tomorrow afternoon!

Sakid brings to our conversation a wealth of knowledge and experience from his long history in our industry. We cover a number of interesting topics such as the effects of the pandemic on the state of the wireless industry, how the ePMP AX platform is coming along and what the future holds, updates on the move into 6Ghz, growth of our industry across the globe, and what other tools Cambium brings to the table beyond the radio.

ICYMI: From our coverage of Mobile World Congress Los Angeles in October, here's a short interview with Federated Wireless CEO Iyad Tarazi. Tarazi talks to Light Reading's Mike Dano about how and why Federated is moving forward an automated frequency controller (AFC) technology that could help support broader usage of the 6GHz band. The 6GHz band currently is set aside for licensed users, including carriers and MVNOs, who have deployed thousands of point-to-point microwave links to backhaul network traffic, the CEO explains. With its new technology, Federated is hoping to help advance the deployment of WiFi 6 and 5G in the US. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
