Samsung Electronics will demonstrate three key network technologies at Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona, which will pave the way for 5G mobile communications. Each technology focuses on important aspects of the Radio Access Network (RAN) and involves networking innovations that will have a dramatic impact on the capabilities of commercial mobile networks. “We consider 5G to be a transformation of how networks are constructed and how radio resources are used,” said Chang Yeong Kim, Head of DMC R&D Center at Samsung Electronics. “To support 100 times greater throughputs at a fraction of the latency, we need to consider more than just a single network component; we need to look at how everything works together. At the same time, the evolution toward 5G must be an incremental process, introducing new technologies in the short- and mid-term that can be tried, tested and proven on commercial networks.” mmWave Wireless Backhaul Utilizing a 60 GHz spectrum, Samsung is rapidly nea...

Since the birth of wireless technology, Samsung has been a leader in the evolution of mobile communication. As the world moved from landline telephones to wireless devices, Samsung has continued to innovate and adapt. Developing its first mobile phone in 1988, Samsung released the world’s first LTE mobile phone in 2010. In 2011, Galaxy SII LTE was the world’s first LTE smartphone. Releasing the world’s first tri-band carrier aggregation-enabled phone last year, Samsung continues to lead smartphone technology. View the original article here

Posted in: Mobile hardware 19 hours ago by Ian Laptop trackpads have for a long time been the Achilles heel of laptops. No matter how responsive or intuitive they get, they’ve never quite been able to match the versatility of a mouse. It looks like trackpads may be getting the much-needed upgrade they deserve, thanks to a breakthrough technology by Synaptic. The new ForcePad trackpad technology by Synaptic not only detects how much pressure is exerted onto the trackpad, put also adds support for up to five fingers. This allows for numerous advanced gestures made by a combination of fingers used and force applied. Synaptic has also been able to eliminate the need for a dedicated click area, and reduce the overall thickness of the trackpad to only 2.8 mm. This means more room for other components and a thinner chassis. Microsoft and Synaptic have been working in conjunction to develop a set of guidelines for OEM manufacturers, which means that the ForcePad will be available across a wi...
