Researchers at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) announced the world’s smallest wireless transceivers that cover all four of the channels*1 allocated in the 60-GHz band.
The 60 GHz transceivers have a maximum transmission rate of 3.8 Gbps per channel. Simultaneous four channel transmissions makes the transmission rate about 15 Gbps.
NTT said the 60 GHz technology could be used in kiosks located in public venues that would wirelessly download of gigabyte-class content (e.g., a DVD of 4.7 GB) in about 10 seconds,
In Japan, as per the revisions to the Radio Act in September 2011, four channels without licenses can be used for such an application.
The miniaturized transceivers are packed in a wireless module in which a broadband antenna and MMICs are integrated in the multi-layer LTCC substrate. It can cover all four channels.

Major Internet service providers (ISPs), home networking equipment manufacturers, and websites have set a goal of having at least 1% of wireline Internet traffic using IPv6 as the standard default to reach major websites by 06-June-2012. ISPs who have signed on include AT&T, Comcast, Free Telecom, Internode, KDDI, Time Warner Cable, and XS4ALL. Websites who have agreed to enable IPv6 on their main portals permanently beginning 6 June 2012 include Facebook, Google, Microsoft Bing and Yahoo. Akamai and Limelight will be enabling their customers to join this list of participating websites by enabling IPv6 throughout their infrastructure.
A collection of websites, including Wikipedia's English language pages, Mozilla, TwitPic, BoingBoing, and Reddit, are conducting a one-day blackout to voice their opposition to the proposed "Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act," which is under consideration by the U.S. Congress. Organizers argue that SOPA imposes unwarranted restrictions on free speech across the Internet and that it will enable major corporations to assert copyright claims without any due process in the courts.http://sopastrike.com/
China Mobile and Clearwire, in conjunction with the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI), announced an agreement on common test specifications and joint interoperability testing (IOT) for TD-LTE devices in the global band configurations, including 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz. Plans call for establishment of 4G mobile broadband labs featuring a joint test platform and IOT environment for TD-LTE devices. The labs will allow for the evaluation and qualification of commercial TD-LTE devices simultaneously in the U.S., China, and other promising markets, using common testing methodology, equipment, and infrastructure.
TE Subcom demonstrated 100G coherent transmission over trans-Atlantic distances, achieving 10 Tbps total capacity on a single fiber. The test was completed using a prototype of the company’s new, first generation smarTEr C100 transceiver on a straight line coherent optimized test bed that simulates undersea systems, including amplifiers and fiber, transmitted 100x100Gb/s (10Tb/s) error-free capacity over 6,400km with significant system performance margin. The hardware tested included proprietary soft decision error correction algorithms.
Sisvel International, which already manage patent pools for the UHF-RFID, CDMA 2000, DVB-T, and DVB-T2 standards, announced that it has acquired 47 patent families comprised of more than 450 patents and applications originally filed by Nokia. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huawei Marine Networks Co., has received a construction contract for Hibernia Atlantic’s Global Financial Network (GFN) Project Express.
CALIENT Technologies has upgraded its FiberConnect 320X (FC320X) photonic switch with new software that improves security in multi-tenant applications and adds new configuration flexibility. The new release e can be used to create port groups of any number of ports and assign a specific user to manage and view traffic from that port group.
