High Resolution Systems LLC will be showcasing its new line of UDC-Touch touchscreens in the lower South Hall at NAB 2011 (Booth SL5622). The company will be sharing the booth with PI Engineering.

Furthermore, the continuing deployment of white spaces devices will cause increasing problems with low power transmissions. (more…)
