u-blox introduces world’s smallest LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT multimode module with quad band 2G fallback
Thalwil, Switzerland – January 23, 2018 – u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, today announced the SARA-R412M, an LTE Cat M1, NB-IoT, and quad band 2G (EGPRS) module with worldwide coverage. Measuring just 16 x 26 mm, the module is the world’s smallest to provide both LTE and quad band EGPRS support in a single design. The flexibility extends further with dynamic system selection as Cat M1, NB-IoT, and EGPRS in single mode or as a preferred connection that does not require a module reboot … Read More → "u-blox introduces world’s smallest LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT multimode module with quad band 2G fallback"
SDK to Re-expand Capacity to Produce High-Grade SiC Epitaxial Wafers
TOKYO, Jan 23, 2018 – (JCN Newswire) – Showa Denko (“SDK”; TSE:4004) has decided to re-expand its capacity to produce high-quality-grade silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial wafers for power devices, which have already been marketed under the trade name of “High-Grade Epi” (HGE), in addition to currently conducted expansion work of HGE production facilities. After the initial expansion work which is scheduled to be finished in this April, SDK’s capacity to produce HGE will be increased from current 3,000 wafers*1 per month to 5,000 wafers per month. After the re-expansion work which is to … Read More → "SDK to Re-expand Capacity to Produce High-Grade SiC Epitaxial Wafers"
