Hughes ruggedized Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) control cables especially designed for the challenges of modern day base station design are finding favour with Network Operators.

Vodafone and other network providers have now joined the ranks of supporters and patrons of Hughes RET cables for harsh environments and as companies discover their benefits more and more are evaluating them .Joe Drinkwater, account executive with Hughes explained “more and more cables seem to populate today’s poles so cables have to take ever more torturous routes with tighter bending radius’ that place higher stresses on and play havoc with mechanical connection points and ingress resistance.

Hughes infant YouTube channel launched only 3 weeks ago has exceeded all expectations.

The channel launched primarily to provide information and implementation instructions on Hughes products and has only 3 videos posted so far, but 4 more videos planned, so it is time to subscribe.
 

Alliance yields important results

Hughes Electronics strategic alliance with near neighbour London SouthBank University has resulted in an influential white paper and the design of a radical new anti-PIM connection system, the ‘WaveWay’. 

Research discovers heat is a major source of PIM.

Temperature and cross channel conduction, say researchers in the Hughes/London Southbank University collaborative research team, have critical effects on PIM. An influential White Paper due for general release by the team confirms the effect of temperature on metal connectors can add up to 10 DBC of PIM in the 3^rd harmonic and that the phenomenon worsens through heat cycling (night/day conditions).

The judges have made their decision and announced that Hughes Electronics have won the:

Catergoy: Best Connector & Cable Services Company 2016

Category: Best Europian Passive Communication Product Manufacturers 2016

Hidden PIM source discovered

Invention makes previously invisible source of PIM clearly visible.

Latest Research by Hughes Electronics and London Southbank University, a strategic alliance formed exclusively to investigate and mitigate sources of PIM in cellular networks, has found that humidity can make a significant contribution to PIM.

Has the In /Out decision really come down to the issue of roaming charges?

Surely the result on the 23^rd cannot come down to anything so trivial as the cost of roaming charges, but says David Cameron, charges will rise if we leave the E.U. Will that really happen? Or is it more rhetoric and scaremongering?

It’s amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.

But once more two stars of the Hughes Electronics show must take a bow.
