VTT solution develops compact devices

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new manufacturing technology for the integration of very high-frequency terahertz systems to enable cost-effective development of telecommunications and imaging solutions and space instruments that are even smaller and have higher frequencies. It can be used in telecommunications applications, where radio links built in frequency bands of one hundred gigahertz enable wireless data transfer, and is also aimed at benefitting imaging solutions operating

814 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a new manufacturing technology for the integration of very high-frequency terahertz systems to enable cost-effective development of telecommunications and imaging solutions and space instruments that are even smaller and have higher frequencies.

It can be used in telecommunications applications, where radio links built in frequency bands of one hundred gigahertz enable wireless data transfer, and is also aimed at benefitting imaging solutions operating at terahertz frequencies such as security cameras that can even reveal bladed objects under clothing. The technology is also suitable for the manufacturing of increasingly smaller remote mapping devices used in satellites in space.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

The first 12 buses, made from aluminium and developed by Linkker, will purchased by HSL and be in service by late summer. The buses will be equipped with sensors to collect data and a real-time monitoring and control system will be developed to receive info

    A collaboration led by Nokia Bells is extending smart poles beyond the LuxTurrim5G project in the Finnish city of Espoo to a nearby residential area called Kera. The LuxTurrim5G project seeks to develop and demonstrate a fast 5G network based on smart light poles at Nokia’s campus. The new smart poles will support Sensible4’s autonomous bus Gatcha operating between this area and Kerra railway station. Juha Salmelin, LuxTurrim5G project coordinator from Nokia, says: “During the project, we have learned a
