Current IssueOpportunities and Challenges
In this issue, our expert contributors discuss the many opportunities and challenges in the PCB design community, and what can be done to grow the numbers of PCB designers—and design instructors.
Embedded Design Techniques
Our expert contributors provide the knowledge this month that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design. Many design and manufacturing hurdles can trip up designers who are new to this technology.
Manufacturing Know-how
For this issue, we asked our expert contributors to share their thoughts on the absolute “must-know” aspects of fab, assembly and test that all designers should understand. In the end, we’re all in this together.

Words of Advice: 5G Reliability
November 14, 2019 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In a recent survey, we asked the following question: Do you think 5G will improve the reliability of communication? Here are a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.
- I will comment after experiencing.
- We will need many more high-tech cell sites. Weather can interfere!
- Yes, but probably only in built-up urban areas.
- By itself, no, it won’t, since 5G will leverage 4G frequencies. The reliability of the entire 5G network should be enhanced.
- I think it will only be available in some areas.
