A Nebula TETRA solution supplied by Teltronic to Transmilenio is helping to transform the Colombian capital’s public transport system and reduce traffic congestion by providing reliable, secure voice, data and slow data services to its entire fleet of buses.

High-tech systems that allow doctors to monitor illnesses and injuries remotely are a step closer thanks to latest research. It could have a massive effect on the future of this field of healthcare.

Melbourne-based HVP, an Australian private timber plantation company, has vehicles fitted with mobile radios optioned with GPS serial boards.

According to NIST, radio communications could be boosted at a disaster site by setting out four extra transmitters in a random arrangement to significantly increase the signal power at the receiver.

European research on the last, hidden part of the electromagnetic spectrum could enable applications that include quality control in semiconductor and pharmaceutical factories, as well as smart security scanners.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has released an Australian radiofrequency spectrum plan.

The first of many antennas has been handed over to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) project.

A solar-powered GSM radio base station is providing energy-lean network coverage in remote areas of South America. There was a requirement for a radio base station to provide high output power, low energy consumption, a small footprint and low weight.

Security technology exploits uniqueness of individual silicon chips for authentication and secret key generation.

Traditionally, telemetry and SCADA data radio users have opted for narrowband licensed channels, primarily for protection from possible interference sources and the security of bandwidth for critical infrastructure.

When a manned mission is eventually sent to Mars, the whole world will be able to watch ‘live’ television coverage of the mission using the Deep Space Array Based Network Beamformer developed by an Australian research scientist.

Virginia Tech researchers have developed a compact ultra-wideband antenna for a range of home, motor vehicle, medical and military applications.

Dublin Bus, Irish public transport operator, has chosen Tait to carry out an upgrade of its existing communications infrastructure.

While it sometimes seems a little difficult to engender much enthusiasm among some of the more technologically jaded members of the radio communications profession, there seem to be very few things likely to bring out the little-kid-on-Christmas-morning attitude than laying hands on the latest and greatest device tool of the trade.

Self-organising networks of wireless sensors are being used by researchers for a wide range of environmental monitoring.
