Complexities of embedded systems
Increasing complexity has long been a major embedded systems developer concern. Some industries have seen this trend earlier than others but it appears none will escape the trend. It is just a matter of time until this is a concern across every market segment.

Wireless networks that build themselves
Wireless sensors in embedded systems in devices from traffic lights to mobile phones, designed to create wireless communications networks automatically, could benefit a range of areas, including emergency management, security, helping vulnerable people to live independently, traffic control, warehouse management and environmental monitoring.
Exceeding the standard for wireless audio
There are 2.4 GHz RF alternatives to Bluetooth for portable audio links that offer the dual advantages of CD quality and long battery life
Surveying the RF landscape
I recall in 1979 during my university years my colleague giving a presentation on future advancements in wireless communications; and how distant at that time the thought of a totally wireless society seemed.

TestAdvance VoiceLog add-on
VoiceLog is an add-on to the standard SoftRadio PC console that enables operators and supervisors to record and replay radio voice communications.
TestAdvance GroupSend multi-transmissions
GroupSend is an add-on to the standard SoftRadio PC console that enables operators to easily and clearly set up a simultaneous transmission to up to eight remote radios.
TestAdvance RoIP-Net 99x99 radio network
RoIP-Net 99x99 delivers a complete, multi-operator RoIP-based radio network. Up to 99 operators can connect to any of 99 remote radios via the RG nxn network repeater.
TestAdvance RoIP-Site 8x8 remote server
RoIP-Site 8x8 extends a basic, single operator RoIP-based radio site by adding a remote radio server. The server allows up to eight operators to simultaneously connect to any of the remote radios.
TestAdvance RoIP-Site 1x8 single operator site
RoIP-Site 1x8 provides a basic, single operator RoIP-based radio site. The system consists of one SoftRadio for the operator and one to eight RoIP-radios.
Manufacturing test software
LitePoint has released the IQfact manufacturing test software for products based on Sequans WiMAX chipsets.
iWrap firmware for Bluetooth modules
An evaluation version of iWrap firmware for Bluegiga's WT11 and WT12 Bluetooth modules is now available. iWrap 3.0 beta will introduce several functions such as Bluetooth HID and DI profiles and remote configuration over a Bluetooth link.
Wireless library
Agilent has announced a major update to the 3GPP LTE wireless library for use with the company's Advanced Design System EDA software.
Transceiver enhanced
AeroComm has enhanced the ZB2430 'ZigBee Your Way' transceiver range to feature output power, receive sensitivity and line-of-sight range (up to 5 km).
RF EDA software
Agilent has released the Genesys 2007.08 which includes new statistical and electromagnetic analyses that provide accuracy for RF and microwave designs.
Gain block amp
Hittite Microwave has introduced a high linearity InGaP HBT gain block MMIC amplifier for IF and RF applications from DC to 4.5 GHz, including mobile/PCS/3G, broadband, WiBro and WiMAX.
WiMAX drive test
Agilent has announced its WiMAX optimisation solution for IEEE 802.16e-2005. This drive-testing capability for its network test platform enables WiMAX network equipment manufacturers and service providers to authenticate the actual subscriber experience in real-world WiMAX environments.
Indoor antenna system
Radio Frequency Systems has developed ClearFill - a suite of end-to-end wireless indoor solutions that helps coverage in buildings and tunnels.
Embedded ethernet radio modules
Airborne is a line of highly integrated 802.11b/g modules from Quatech DPAC Technologies. The Airborne embedded radio modules provide instant LAN and internet connectivity, and connect through standard CompactFlash interfaces to a wide variety of applications providing a 'drop-in' Wi-Fi solution. Since there's no need to develop the software, or to develop the RF and communications expertise in-house, OEMs can realise reduced product development costs and a quick time-to-market.
Network analysers
With the R&S ZVA-K7 software option, pulsed measurements have been integrated into the ZVA family of high-end network analysers.
Agilent Technologies RF EDA software
GENESYS is an integrated electronic design automation (EDA) software from Agilent Technologies for RF and microwave component and subsystem designers needing affordable, professional design tools that focus on the task of the RF designer.
Embedded wireless ethernet modules
Airborne is a line of integrated 802.11b/g modules from Quatech DPAC Technologies. The wireless module includes a radio, a baseband processor, an application processor and software providing a 'drop-in' web-enabled Wi-Fi solution.

Simultaneous access for multiple networks
Radio IP Software has demonstrated what it claims is a strategic advance in current mobile VPN (virtual private network) technology.
Test system could accelerate manufacturing
Agilent Technologies and GCT Semiconductor have announced plans to implement a WiMAX manufacturing test system for GCT's WiMAX chipsets, which will accelerate manufacturing throughput and allow mass production deployment.
Company boosts investment in software technologies for design, simulation
Agilent Technologies has announced the expansion of technologies in its Advanced Design System (ADS) and Genesys design platforms to provide a full spectrum of software tools for microwave and RF designers.
