Neul, a start-up based in Cambridge, UK, has raised $12.8m (£8.0m) from DFJ Esprit-led syndicate for TV white space technology.
Neul aims to unify the fragmented world of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications with the world's first white space radio system and a new, open M2M communications standard, re-defining wireless data communications. Neul will shortly launch the new standard called "Weightless".
Neul said white space wireless technology will enable a range of services and applications, from the predicted 50 billion connected Machine-to-Machine (M2M) devices, through smart metering to local broadband delivery, transportation and personal health devices.
Neul Chief Executive James Collier said, "This investment will allow Neul to further expand its leadership position in fully compliant white space wireless systems. It is a real pleasure to be working with one of the leading investors in wireless technology in Europe, DFJ Esprit."http://www.neul.com/

SK Telecom and LG Uplus are expected to introduce their initial LTE data-only service in July in the Seoul metro market. KT said it plans to support both data dongles and LTE smartphones with its later service launch.http://www.kt.com
will provide funding for thirteen photonic research projects into components for enabling cheaper and better connections at 1 Gbps and above. The funding totals EUR 22.3 million for projects that will run for two to three years and which were selected in 2010 by the European Commission, Austria, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and Israel. The Commission contributes one third of the funding of the projects and national funding agencies cover the rest.
demonstrated LTE Advanced connectivity between its RBS 6000 base station and a moving vehicle in Kista, Sweden. The enhancements introduced with LTE Advanced include carrier aggregation and extended multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) functionality. The tests achieved speeds more than 10 times faster than those currently experienced by LTE consumers in Sweden. The meter showed between 900 Mbps and 1 Gbps of over-the-air downlink performance to the moving van.
A WiGig Bus Extension (WBE) specification has also been released to Adopter members. The WiGig Bus Extension and WiGig Serial Extension (WSE) enable high-performance multi-gigabit wireless connectivity among multiple devices, from storage devices to other high-speed peripherals and applications such as Wireless Docking. WiGig is finalizing the WSE specification and plans to publish it to Adopters in the second half of this year.
