A new phone accessory called Sgnl is the exact opposite of a hands-free device like a Bluetooth headset—it’s entirely dependent on your hand. The device, which has blown its Kickstarter goal of $50,000 out of the water, is a high-tech watch band that can be attached to any watch face, whether it’s an Apple watch or an analog timepiece, to let you make phone calls using your hand.

One thought on “A watch band lets you hear phone calls through your fingertip”

  1. $140 per band at the first KickStarter; and it worked when the Mental Floss journalist tried it at the ‘noisy coffeeshop’ challenge level. If your ear needed fidgeting with, and your headsets get lost at a good clip, and your chiropractitioner is into ear medial response stuff, maybe this is the thing!

    In other news, I really hope they’re not all matte black wristbands.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
