In recent years, the Asia-Pacific region has bucked the global trend of declining telecom growth. The uptake of mobile services and popularity in many territories has seen significant growth in both subscribers and network infrastructure

Back in 1912, the Reverend John Flynn became acutely aware of the needs of people living in outback Australia. The community facilities that we now take for granted in our cities simply did not exist in the outback back then (and often still don't today)

My dictionary tells me that an antenna is an insect's feeler or an aerial. This article will take a how and why look at aerials as devices used for sending and receiving radio waves

The growing demand for radiocommunications calls for higher frequencies since all lower-range frequencies have already been allocated worldwide

Soon you will begin to hear about wireless sensor networks used everywhere in Asia, from farms to factories. What are they?

In the last of a three-part series on interference in wireless systems, we look at all the different types of potential interfering signals and how to identify them

With wireless technology such as Wi-Fi becoming ever more popular and commonplace, Sean Casey from Intel takes a look at the year that really saw it take off and at the trends for the coming years

Wireless has been well received ever since the first wireless radio transmission over the Atlantic Ocean by Marconi almost a century ago. Since that time the technology has been harnessed to suit myriad applications

Tremendous industry cooperation has been behind the creation of the AISG open standard communications protocol; the development has much import for the future of cellular infrastructure

The IEEE 802.16a standard, approved in January 2003, provides wireless last-mile broadband access over the frequency bands between 2 and 11 GHz, a range that enables non-line-of-sight performance

Like many state and national governments around the globe, the Australian state of Victoria privatised its government-owned utilities in the late 1990s. Among the assets was an entity known as the National Response Centre (NRC)

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the new generation of automatic identification and data capture. These wireless systems allow for non-contact reading and are effective in manufacturing and other hostile environments

The piezoelectic effect is defined that pressure applied on quartz crystal generates voltage and voltage applied across crystal quartz produces mechanical vibration

Pioneering work by physicists and engineers at ANU to build a cheap, simple and robust wireless communication system may soon see regional Australia getting a workable connection to the Internet
