This is a submission from Rutronik on the 2.4GHz RF front end module (FEM) nRF21540 from Nordic Semiconductor. It's a "plug and play" range extender that improves range and connection robustness, when combined with the multiprotocol wireless SoCs of nRF52 and nRF53 Series or other radios. It requires just a minimal amount of external components.

With 30 MHz bandwidth, 200 MSa/s sampling rate and its input range of +/-40 Vpp, IkaScope fits perfectly in your pocket and your hand. It transfers measured signals over high speed wifi connection to any Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop computers as well as tablets or smartphones (iOS & Android). It will remember your access points and connect to them instantly. No local network? No problems, IkaScope will create one on the go.

This is a submission from Rutronik about Minew’s new MS88SF2 multi-protocol module. This module is based on the SoC (System-on-Chip) nRF52840, Nordic’s most powerful short-range wireless microcontroller. It can be operated with the wireless protocols Bluetooth 5.0, ZigBee 3.0, Thread and ANT, as well as with proprietary 2.4GHz stacks.

This is a submission from Rutronik on the compact wireless transceiver module TCM 515. This module is suitable for systems such as transceiver gateways, actuators and controllers that communicate based on the EnOcean radio standard in the sub-GHz band. It provides reduced power consumption, smaller size and a lower purchase price compared to the previous generation TCM 310, which is still available.

This is a submission from Keysight Technologies, Inc. They announced that the company has joined the multi-party 6G Flagship Program – supported by the Academy of Finland and led by the University of Oulu, Finland – as a co-creator to advance wireless communications research beyond 5G.

This is a submission from Keysight Technologies, Inc. about the announcement that TCL Communication Technology Holdings Limited, a global mobile terminal manufacturer and internet service provider, has selected the company’s 5G network emulation solutions to validate its 5G new radio (NR) designs.

This video shows how to establish a peer-to-peer wireless LoRa communication. With a simple example based on Arduino, it explains how to update the data from a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor to the ThingSpeak cloud. Before being able to send data from sensors to a cloud server, a beginning developer may need targeted assistance to quickly learn LoRa and IoT technology. That's why Elektor has chosen the new Dragino LoRa IoT Development Kit. Soon you too will turn your ideas into practical applications on the Internet of your own Things.

This is a submission from Rutronik about the ultra-low power multi-protocol wireless SoCs and modules of Redpine Signals’ RS9116 family. The RS9116 family is featuring an internal protocol arbitration manager, who manages the protocols dual band (2.4 and 5GHz) 802.11 a/b/g/n, 802.11j, dual-mode Bluetooth 5 and 802.15.4 for Thread and ZigBee®.

The SmartScope is an exceptionally handy and versatile two-channel USB oscilloscope that works with all computer systems, tablets and smartphones that operate on Windows, OS X, iOS, Android and Linux. A handy expansion module is now available that enables the SmartScope to operate wirelessly via WiFi: the WiFi-Bridge. We were among the first to evaluate this module.

This kit contains all the parts for four-legged robot with remote control. The robot is powered by twelve servos that are controlled by an Arduino Nano board. The remote control also contains a Nano board and a joystick for controlling the robot.
