An Old Favorite Has A New Twist Lately, it seems like everyone who is connected to the wireless-handset market is concerned with convergence. Previously, such convergence meant having one device that could function as both a phone and an e-mail/wireless-Internet device. In other words, people thought the trend would be toward carrying a single device rather than a cell phone, Blackberry, and more. Yet only a small fragment of the market—mostly... — Nancy Friedrich March 2005 [On The Wireless Front] On The Wireless Front Milpitas, California The new LTC4061-4.4 from Linear Technology Corp. is a compact, standalone, linear 1-cell 4.375-V (4.4-V maximum) Li-Ion battery charger. Its advanced features improve charging safety, simplify charge termination and status reporting, and prolong battery life. For safety, the LTC4061-4.4 is equipped with a thermistor interface for temperature-qualified charging, an adjustable timer as a backup charge termination, and precision... — Staff February 2005 [Editor's Note] Billing Issues Leave Users Unsatisfied A few months ago, my husband and I decided to purchase new cell phones. We opted to stay with our existing carrier and called to see what type of deals were available for new phones. When we found out that we were each eligible for a $150 rebate, we went to the store to compare the newest makes and models. It quickly became clear that we could choose a basic 2G phone or a full-featured phone with all of the newest bells and whistles—video capability, color display, camera, etc. There... — Nancy Friedrich February 2005 [On The Wireless Front] On The Wireless Front Seoul, Korea Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has developed an eight-die multi-chip-package (MCP) technology. This technology was designed for use in high-capacity mobile devices, such as third-generation (3G) handsets and other increasingly smaller mobile devices. Typically, as the number of chips per memory package increases, so does the thickness of the package. Using its Wafer Supporting System technology to makes wafers thinner during design... — Staff February 2005 [Column] Can Access And Privacy Survive Next-Generation Systems? The mechanistic world view, taking the play of physical particles as ultimate reality, found its expression in a civilization which glorifies physical technology that has led eventually to the catastrophes of our time. Possibly the model of the world as a great organization can help to reinforce the sense of reverence for the living which we have almost lost in the last sanguinary decades of human history.—Ludwig von Bertalanffy At first, access and privacy seem to be... — Ryan Olson January 2005 [Editor's Note] Services Put An End To Simple Times Did you ever watch any of those old, black-and-white science-fiction movies? They were so forward thinking in their depiction of technology. A spaceship crew, for instance, was often shown talking via handheld devices that were part of complex communications systems. Yet the moviemakers' imaginations only went so far, as the films always showed wired devices. As we begin 2005, the situation is the opposite: It's becoming harder to imagine a world that's not wireless. Over the past... — Nancy Friedrich January 2005 [News] Design A Wireless Winner For wireless developers, there's nothing like being recognized for a job well done. Now, they can turn to the second-annual Wireless Innovation Contest 2005 (WIC 05) for such recognition. In exchange for promising ideas, this contest offers a valuable boost toward marketability. The contest, which is under the aegis of the Wireless Innovation Network of British Columbia (WINBC), is open to Canadian and American wireless developers and solution providers. It's intended to recognize... — Lisa Maliniak January 2005 [News] Short Clips TeleCIS Wireless, Inc.

In addition, TeleCIS raised a... — Nancy Friedrich January 2005 [On The Wireless Front] On The Wireless Front Springfield, Virginia A new solution to the poor signal quality of wireless networks is as economical as it is flexible: the Nearson 7-dBi high-gain rubber-duck antenna. Now, blind spots and patchy signals can be replaced by high-quality reception without the cost or power consumption of high-powered radios. The Nearson 7-dBi antenna brings the performance of an infrastructure antenna to a portable antenna that is small, lightweight, and very cost... — Staff December 2004 [Editor's Note] Tell Us Your Worst Design Nightmares The past few years have been tough, to say the least. Sales have dropped, cutbacks have been implemented, and staffs have been trimmed. As engineering companies have become more "streamlined," one would think that projects would run more smoothly.... — Nancy Friedrich December 2004 [News] Wireless Gadgets Make The Holidays Bright Holiday celebrations are filled with traditions.

But do consumers really want such complicated devices? The answer to that question seems to be "no." What consumers really want is phones that do one or a few chosen... — Simon Morris November 2004 [Editor's Note] Wireless Rides The Cyclic Market Have you ever noticed that even though everything changes, the pattern of change seldom varies? Paradoxically, some things seem to be in constant flux while others seem to remain relatively unchanged.
