RF-over-Fiber Emerges as Strategic Upgrade to Traditional RF Cabling for High-Frequency Signal Transmission

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 3, 2025 – As modern industries demand faster, longer-distance, and interference-free communication systems, RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) technology is gaining traction as a strategic upgrade to conventional coaxial RF connectivity. HUBER+SUHNER, a global leader in high-performance RF and microwave cable solutions, is spearheading innovation in this space, demonstrating how RFoF delivers clear advantages in challenging environments.

Reinforcing the Value of Coaxial RF Cables

Traditional coaxial cables remain a staple in high-frequency signal transmission. Their simple yet effective design—comprising an inner conductor, dielectric insulator, and outer conductor—ensures strong shielding and high signal fidelity. These attributes make coaxial cables a cost-efficient and robust solution, particularly in scenarios where short distances and physical resilience are key.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 1, 2025 – Roche has announced compelling final overall survival data from its phase III INAVO120 study, showing that the Itovebi™ (inavolisib)-based regimen reduces the risk of death by more than 30% in patients with PIK3CA-mutated, HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. The findings were presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

First PI3K Inhibitor to Prolong Survival in This Breast Cancer Subtype

The INAVO120 trial demonstrated that Itovebi, when combined with palbociclib and fulvestrant, achieved a median overall survival (OS) of 34.0 months compared to 27.0 months for the control group receiving palbociclib and fulvestrant alone. This represents a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement (HR=0.67; p=0.0190).
