QuantalRF Targets Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 Networks with New RF Front-End Module
QuantalRF has started sampling its QWX27104 front-end module for Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 8 mobile applications to Tier-1 device manufacturers and semiconductor companies. Built using GlobalFoundries’ 8SW RF-SOI process, the module delivers up to 3 dB higher mask-compliant output power while reducing the digital pre-distortion processing required by conventional RF designs. It supports frequencies from 5150 MHz to 7125 MHz and channel bandwidths up to 320 MHz. At 320 MHz, QuantalRF says the device maintains less than −47 dB EVM up to 16 dBm and remains spectral-mask-limited to 19.5 dBm. Volume production is planned for Q1 2027, targeting next-generation high-capacity wireless connectivity.
In-Building Wireless Market Forecast to Reach $48.52 Billion by 2032
The global in-building wireless market is projected to increase from $25.37 billion in 2026 to $48.52 billion by 2032, according to MarketsandMarkets research carried by PR Newswire. The forecast highlights increasing investment in indoor mobile connectivity as enterprises, venues, transportation hubs and other large buildings require stronger 5G and wireless coverage. Indoor networks are becoming increasingly important because outdoor macro-cell infrastructure alone cannot always provide the capacity or signal quality required inside complex buildings. Growth creates opportunities across distributed antenna systems, small cells, private cellular networks and related network equipment and services. For telecom operators, neutral hosts and infrastructure providers, indoor coverage represents an increasingly important extension of public 5G networks as enterprises demand reliable connectivity for employees, customers, IoT equipment and business applications.
Scientel Solutions Expands Wireless Connectivity at North Central College
Scientel Solutions has deployed connectivity infrastructure for North Central College in Illinois, demonstrating another use case for high-capacity wireless networks across large campuses and public venues. The project focuses on improving connectivity for student-athletes and supporting communications requirements across college facilities. Campus deployments are becoming an important market for network integrators as universities require reliable wireless infrastructure capable of supporting increasing numbers of smartphones, connected devices, video applications and operational systems. Educational institutions are also adopting more cloud applications, IoT equipment and digitally enabled services, increasing pressure on underlying networks. Projects such as this provide opportunities for wireless integrators, equipment suppliers and managed-network providers as organizations move from conventional Wi-Fi coverage toward more comprehensive connectivity architectures spanning indoor and outdoor facilities.
