Technologies behind multigigabit Ethernet and 5G could transform transportation. Harsh Patel | Molex The connected vehicle segments are growing at a rapid pace. By 2020, industry analysts predict there will be 250 million connected vehicles and 10 million self-driving cars on the road, and 470 million connected/autonomous vehicles by 2025. As the number of connected […]

How to test time-sensitive networks effectively
Connected vehicles depend on networks that won’t bog down when handling real-time data. Specialized TSN tests ensure messages arrive on time and intact. Jeff Warra, Spirent ETHERNET has been the backbone of IT infrastructure for more than 40 years, but it was never designed to be a determinist network. That’s why, over time, Ethernet standards […]
Teardown: Inside the TP-Link Archer C7 wireless router
Here is what the architecture of modern-day dual-speed Ethernet/Wi-Fi router looks like these days. TP-Link’s Archer C7 dual-speed wireless router delivers 1,300 Mbps over the 5 GHz band and 450 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band. That should be enough bandwidth for HD streaming, online gaming and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. The idea behind using two […]
LAN transformers come in gigabit versions
The WE-LAN AQ series of LAN transformers are manufactured by full automation and come in a new gigabit package that exhibits outstanding electrical properties and compact design. With WE-LAN AQ, the previous wound toroid cores are replaced with SMD-solderable transformers and common-mode choke elements. The low return loss attenuation gives the package an outstanding signal […]
Ethernet MCUs simplify industrial gateway to the cloud with one platform
As more nodes connect to the Internet, developers are looking are looking to differentiate their products, adding more unique features. But the problem remains — how do you add more nodes and scale without further straining the network? With more nodes, you need more interfaces to the gateway to talk to these nodes. A typical MCU provides […]
