Improvements in the five critical characteristics of isolators benefit electronics manufacturers in the new path towards next-gen wireless:
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to know where the future of wireless is heading. With inexhaustible demand driven by 5G, 6G and beyond, ultra-high-definition video, autonomous driving cars, security applications and IoT, the sky’s the limit for utilizing the higher ends of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.
Meeting this demand requires products capable of capitalizing on the millimeter wave (MMW) bands which presently cover the frequencies between 30 GHz to 500 GHz. However, these higher frequencies present a significant problem that design engineers must address: that of standing waves. Without control, these unwanted waves can attenuate power output, distort the digital information on the carrier and, in extreme cases, damage internal components.
To counteract the problem of standing waves at lower microwave frequencies, engineers rely on Faraday rotation isolators – more commonly referred to simply as isolators. At their very basic level, an isolator is a two-port, input and output, component that allows EM signals to pass in one direction but absorbs them in the opposite direction. However, traditional isolators fall short at the higher frequencies required for next-gen wireless applications.
A big part of the problem is that the first isolators were designed more than a half century ago, with very few modifications since the original concept. With recent advancements, however, companies at the cutting edge of MMW technologies are gaining the ability to launch products that operate optimally at stratospheric frequencies.
“The new series of waveguide isolators have been a key enabling technology for VDI, and a large advance from what was previously available,” says Jeffrey Hesler, PhD, CTO of Virginia Diodes, Inc.
Who is talking about you?
Here is a simple way to get started with a B2B electronics public relations campaign: have your customers “do the talking for you.” Have them talk about all of the problems they faced, what they tried that did not work, and how you were able to solve those problems for them.
Then, turn that into a story and get it into the hands of as many potential customers as you can through stories in trade publications, social media, views on your website, via email, etc.
This word-of-mouth approach is the biggest single differentiator a company can deploy.

“I am the greatest of all time!” - Muhammad Ali
While telling everyone that he was the greatest of all time worked for Muhammad Ali, but it’s not a great approach to take for your brand. Instead, let others do the talking for you. But how do you do that?
Well, one approach is to create feature articles where the story is built around your happy customers. They had a problem, they struggled finding someone to solve it, then they met you.
The articles we create convey your key messaging points, differentiators and value proposition without pounding your chest.
These trusted, third-party-generated articles published in quantity in numerous trade publications (or online) deliver the same result as Ali got. Eventually, people will think of you as the greatest and there is nothing wrong with that.
Added bonus: These B2B electronics PR articles are usually the first thing that customers come across in their search for solutions to their challenges and are heavily relied on to gather information before making a purchase decision. It also doesn’t hurt that they help increase digital presence and SEO through backlinks to your website.
Why do your potential customers care?
One of the most difficult things to do for a business that sells B2B is to create content that is informative rather than self-promotional. So, how do you break through the clutter of today’s fast-paced, low attention span, over-saturated marketplace where your potential customers are exposed to around 5,000 advertisements per day?
The answer is to deliver that message in the form of valuable content. What better way to do that than have your customers do the talking for you? People are much more likely to trust what others say about you.
So, take your customer’s stories about their experience working with you and create feature articles. Then get those distributed to as many potential customers as possible. The best way to do that is through target press outreach. This type of content not only creates an increased demand for your business; but shortens sales cycles by educating prospects.
A few things to keep in mind when creating content are:
- What do your prospects really care about? Hint: it’s not you or your products (at least not yet)
- Why should your potential customers care about your solutions?
5 easy ways B2B electronics PR builds your brand:
- Determine how you want people to see you
- Define your audience (as well as the tone and level of detail needed to speak to them)
- Differentiate yourself from your competition
- Focus on benefits when telling your brand story to customers
- Distribute that story in quantity to trade publications (print and online) that target your audience. As a bonus, also deliver them via all digital channels, e.g, social media, website, email, etc.
