Breakthrough fractal antenna patent
Filed Oct 24, 2006 at 2:00 PM ·
Fractus has been granted the world's first technology patent for an IC package including a miniature fractal antenna.
The technology, commonly referred to as Antenna in Package (AiP), has been granted a patent in the US.
Fractus technology allows the antenna, traditionally a separate component, to be integrated with other RF components such as the radio and RF processor. Using fractal geometry, the company has created a design that is small enough to be incorporated onto the IC and accommodate multiple bands (frequencies) to support numerous short-range wireless standards.

Environmental Sensor Networks:A Revolution in the Earth System Science
Filed Oct 12, 2006 at 3:48 PM ·
Environmental Sensor Networks (ESNs) facilitate the study of fundamental processes and the development of hazard response
systems. They have evolved from passive logging systems that require manual downloading, into ‘intelligent’ sensor networks that
comprise a network of automatic sensor nodes and communications systems which actively communicate their data to a Sensor
Network Server (SNS) where these data can be integrated with other environmental datasets.

Wibree will kill Zigbee
Filed Oct 07, 2006 at 3:27 PM ·
THE SUDDEN announcement last week of yet another wireless cable replacement technology – this one called Wibree, has taken many industry pundits by surprise. Bluetooth's position is far less threatened by Wibree than many observers believe.
The main loser in this particular battle, according to Nick Hunn of Bluetooth specialist, Ezurio, will be another wireless technology with a silly name, ZigBee.
