Power consumption is becoming an increasingly important variable when it comes to calculating OPEX and carbon footprint for telecom infrastructure projects. For example, on average, each fully loaded 3G cell site costs approximately $1600/yr US or $3200/yr in Europe. In addition to these costs, the level of consumption...

Little doubt exists about contemporary battery power and its diverse use potential. With the advent of lighter, smaller, higher powered, lower amperage cells, the technological applications have become “understandably” broad. Significantly, the use of portable medical devices which are battery-powered, has...

Connectors are often seen as the weakest link between sub-systems, and sometimes this is rightly so. This can be as a result of underspecifying the connector system or not appreciating the difference between the various rating schemes. As a result engineers tend to over-specify the connectors to ensure they are reliable...
