The United Auto Workers and General Motors Co. would partner under their new contract to manage the impact of new technologies that threaten a century-old manufacturing process currently employing tens of thousands.
The National Committee on Advanced Technology, created in the tentative UAW-GM agreement, would meet quarterly to address the changes the Detroit automaker must implement as it tests 3D printing, plans to pilot driverless taxis in the streets and introduces globally 20 battery-electric vehicles that require fewer parts than their internal combustion counterparts.
GM says it will bring these electric vehicles to market by 2023 — when the proposed contract with the UAW would expire.

Advanced RF Technologies solves some challenges of indoor 5G | FierceWireless
Advanced RF Technologies (ADRF), the in-building Distributed Antenna System (DAS) provider, announced a suite of wireless products for 5G in-building wireless connectivity.
ADRF, which competes in the DAS market with the likes of Corning, Commscope and JMA Wireless, today introduced a series of millimeter wave (mmWave) repeaters, digital DAS, and mmWave support for its DAS. The company says these solutions enable carriers, enterprises, and building owners to provide 5G in-building wireless connectivity.
The company mainly sells its products through "neutral hosts" such as American Tower, Crown Castle, ExteNet and Boingo, according to Seri Yoon, director of marketing with ADRF.
Its new mmWave product line will support the 27.5 GHz~28.35 GHz bands that U.S. carriers are using for 5G. "Our DAS platforms will support those mmWave products, and we're launching our new repeater platform that supports those frequency bands," said Yoon. "We believe there is not a commercial grade mmWave repeater out there today."
