News Summary:
On February 2, 2026, a discussion highlighted the importance of operations over deployment when scaling LoRaWAN networks, noting that successful IoT deployments in smart cities, agriculture, and industrial monitoring depend on efficient network management, automation, and long-term performance. Previously, on January 28, 2026, Mini-Circuits expanded its ZHL-Series power amplifiers, providing over 75 models for RF test labs with operating bands from 5 MHz to 18 GHz and power levels up to 300W. Earlier, on December 28, 2025, an analysis focused on the role of beamforming and active electronically scanned array (AESA) antennas in advancing satellite communication technologies. This followed the December 2, 2025, introduction of Marki Microwave's TF50-50 RF Termination, which operates from DC to 50 GHz, handles 1W input power, and features a VSWR of less than 1.15:1. In November 2025, Coilcraft launched its 0908SQ Series Square Air Core Inductors, offering inductance values from 8.1 to 27.3 nH, self-resonant frequencies from 2.5 to 5.2 GHz, and capable of handling up to 4.4 A RMS current.
