Peter Linder, Head of Thought Leadership Americas at Ericsson, talks with Pat Hindle and Del Pierson about the release of the Ericsson Next Wave of Mobile Innovation, a new industry-defining report that spotlights how advanced 5G capabilities are enabling digital transformation across sectors—from healthcare to mining, ports, and beyond—through Ericsson’s new Mobile Infrastructure Maturity Index, plus real-world enterprise and government case studies.

Michael Glass, RF Systems Sales Engineer at Quantic Wenzel, talks with Pat Hindle about the rising demand for ultra-low phase noise frequency sources in digital RF systems. They cover how ADCs, PLLs, DDS synthesizers, and RF SoCs still depend on clean analog clocks to reach low noise floors, and how newer designs push for higher frequencies, smaller form factors, rugged construction, and multiple coherent outputs. Glass explains how low noise clocks improve radar resolution, SATCOM link reliability, and system performance. Sponsored by Quantic Wenzel.
