While still in the development stage, acoustic data link (ADL) technology is potentially a game changer for sectors where data communication is needed to penetrate secure metallic containers. The technology from TDK Electronics bolsters the effectiveness and efficiency of systems — from industrial and food to healthcare and defense — with sensors monitoring systems 24/7 to identify whether they are operating in optimal parameters or not.

At this week's IEEE ECTC 2025 conference, research hub Imec demonstrated an integrated 300 mm RF silicon interposer platform that combines RF-to-sub-THz CMOS and III/V chiplets on a single carrier. Imec claims the platform achieved a record-low insertion loss of just 0.73 dB/mm at frequencies up to 325 GHz, paving the way for compact, low-loss and scalable next-generation RF and mixed-signal systems.

6G holds many promises for self-driving cars, instant healthcare diagnosis, super-fast download speeds and more current and emerging applications. But to get there requires developing powerful semiconductors. Researchers at the University of Bristol are developing a new type of semiconductor architecture that uses special gallium nitride (GaN) amplifiers. The technology was achieved by discovering a latch-effect in GaN to unlock greater radio frequency (RF) device performance.

Consumers can do nearly anything on the internet these days. Playing online games, buying things from Amazon, working from home or watching streaming services requires home internet, which typically involves paying an internet provider for a service. But that doesn’t mean consumers approve of their practices, specifically fees, and alternatives like 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) are gaining traction.

Calling on the need to lead the world in 5G/6G technologies, U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to open new parts of the wireless spectrum, specifically the 600 MHz band, for auction to telecoms. But what does this mean and how will it help expand these technologies? Opening the spectrum to auction essentially refers to the government selling licenses to use specific radio frequencies to American telecoms like Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.
