When the tech bubble burst in 2000-01, the LMDS startups perished. Technology advances, however, could make the high-frequency airwaves prime candidates for 5G. “In the 1990s, with LMDS, mobile data wasn’t mature, and neither was the Internet, and neither was the electronics industry — it couldn’t make low cost, mmWave devices,” said Ted Rappaport, founding …
In 2015, the FCC auctioned off some new space on the wavelength spectrum for use by wireless carriers. It wasn’t a ton of space, but enough to lessen the traffic load a bit. The total price the auction went up to? $45 billion, split by the major carriers like AT&T and Verizon. But what the …
FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel sees a high-frequency future. “We will need to bust through this old 3 GHz ceiling and create new possibilities for millimeter wave spectrum in the airwaves at 24 GHz and above. This is spectrum that is way, way up there. I think of this as the airwaves that will take us …
New York University is making its channel model simulator and measurement data free and open to all, which could reduce the development time of millimetre wave (mmW) technologies for companies looking to use these higher frequencies in 5G-compliant systems. The work on mmW technology and propagation is being undertaken at NYU Wireless, a multi-disciplinary academic …
WASHINGTON—In his keynote speech this morning at a Federal Communications Commission workshop on 5G wireless technology, pioneering researcher Theodore (Ted) Rappaport will announce that New York University is making its channel model simulator and measurement data free and open to all—potentially short-circuiting years of millimeter wave (mmWave) development time for companies hoping to vastly increase …
Research centers such as NYU WIRELESS are paving the way for Fifth-Generation (5G) wireless systems through their work in the millimeter-wave radio spectrum. The next generation of mobile services will bring higher speed and lower latency. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has already taken an important step by proposing new flexible rules for the 28-, …
For electrical engineer Elza Erkip, the best job in the world is one that allows her to pursue her passion–these days, much of her research is in wireless networking—as well as have the flexibility to make her own hours, spend time with her two young daughters, present her research at major conferences, and mentor her …
No doubt, the wireless industry is ready to celebrate the Senate committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation’s approval of the Mobile Now Act, which is designed to boost the development of 5G by making more spectrum available for commercial use and reducing red tape for building networks….Last year, the FCC kicked off its NPRM [Notice …
Just a year ago, NYU Wireless was concerned the U.S. was falling behind in the global race to 5G. Fast forward a year and a few weeks, throw in a few dozen announcements leading up to and at Mobile World Congress 2016, and things are looking much better for the U.S. It doesn’t hurt that …
Last fall, the Federal Communications Commission set the stage for our 5G future. In a historic proposal, the FCC tripled the amount of available licensed radio spectrum for today’s cellular industry by suggesting that high-frequency bands (specifically, 28, 37, 39, and 64-71 GHz) be opened up for mobile use. Already in the U.S., Verizon and …
