RF & Wireless News Wearables - The Next ‚Smart‘ Thing Classified as a ‚future form factor‘ for computing devices, next generation wearables, including smart glasses and other head-mounted displays, will provide a multitude of functions either independently or in conjunction with a third party platform. The new report, Smart Wearable Devices: Fitness, Healthcare, Entertainment & Enterprise 2012-2017 identifies 2014 to be the watershed year for wearable devices - in terms of roll outs and market traction. Large influential players such as Google and Apple have already made key strategic moves in this sector. Wearables Today The use of wearable devices connected to the smartphone in the fitness and sports environment has grown rapidly in the last two years with applications such as Nike+ and Fitbit Tracker allowing data from training sessions to be uploaded and analysed. Report author Nitin Bhas added: „With consumers embracing new technologies and form factors, wearable devices ranging from fitness accessories to headsup displays will be more prevalent in the consumer market. While fitness and entertainment will have the greatest demand from consumers, within an enterprise environment, the demand for wearable devices will be greatest from the aviation and warehouse sectors“. Other key findings include: • The market will be dominated by North America and Western Europe, representing over 60% of the global wearable device sales • Even though the number of fitness and sports devices bought per year is higher than the number of healthcare devices sold, the health sector will be slightly larger in terms of retail value. The ‚Wearables - The Next ‚Smart‘ Thing whitepaper is available to download from the Juniper website together with further details of the full report.

Adding to the company’s versatile and capable range of existing products, which are well proven in cellular applications, the new products combine the best of Millimeter-Wave (MMW) using E-band and 60 GHz technologies, with FSO (Free Space Optics) to provide high capacity Gigabit backhaul networks to power today’s and tomorrow’s cellular networks. Products 962 - 1213 MHz, Drop-in Circulator, 3G2BDL Renaissance‘s new broadband circulator is ideal for transmitter protection application. Operating over 962 - 1213 MHz, this device can withstand 2000 W Peak and 20 W average power levels. lt is designed to sustain temperatures from -55 to +120 C while the loss is maintained below 0.5 dB. Datasheet available on this website: www.rec-usa.com/Data%20Sheets/ 962-1 21 3mhzcirculator3G2BDL.pdf ■ Renaissance www.rec.usa.com The new CableFree MMW links offer fullspeed Gigabit capacities and advanced, user-friendly features such as 1Gbps Full Duplex capacity with Forward Error Correction (FEC), Power-over-Ethernet and Fibre Optic interface options, and can be fed by either AC or DC power as site conditions permit. With ultra-low power consumption, the MMW links can be powered off existing sources such as street lighting fixtures, and for remote areas, alternative power sources such as solar with batteries. Using integrated advanced high gain antennas, the MMW links utilise narrow “pencil beam” transmissions which minimise potential sources of interference and maximise spatial re-use for the dense network deployments needed in busy cities. The 60 GHz frequencies, which are ideal for sub-kilometre applications, are used for short links. To implement longer links, E-band (70 – 80 GHz) frequencies are used up to 8 km (depending on rain zone region). For ultra high availability, dual-technology links combining MMW and FSO are used which provide 2 Gbps of capacity, falling back to 1 Gbps when either path is disrupted. As FSO and MMW have complementary fade patterns in fog and rain, high availability exceeding 99.999% as well as high throughput of 1 Gbps minimum are ensured in all conditions, as well as adding path protection and equipment resilience. The new set of backhaul products is available immediately for volume shipment, for live deployments as well as trials, with full references available. Stringent environmental, safety and regulatory requirements are met for homologation in all key global markets. A full range of support and training services are available. ■ Wireless Excellence Limited. www.wirelessexcellence.com/ 48 hf-praxis 4/2013
