Engineers are racing to deliver the first smartphones supporting 5G networks, mainly targeting frequencies below 6 GHz. RF experts are sharply divided over whether any of the first batch of devices will support the standard’s millimeter-wave bands. All sides agree that the handsets face a fractured market, with carriers supporting frequencies spanning 600 MHz to …

NYU WIRELESS held a welcome back party for students last night along with presentations from NYU WIRELESS Director, Ted Rappaport and the new Dean of NYU Tandon, Jelena Kovačević. Rappaport’s presentation focused on engaging NYU WIRELESS students, faculty, and staff members to create a “culture of collegiality, excellence, and fun.” New efforts include forming a …

The folks who conducted pioneering research into millimeter wave (mmWave) technology are now looking at what might be the next big thing: terahertz electromagnetic spectrum. A series of seminars organized by the New York University Wireless research center and NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department this fall will feature foremost scientists …

The next frontier for ultra-fast computing and wireless communications – the terahertz electromagnetic spectrum – will be examined in a series of seminars by foremost scientists and engineers in the field. Organized by the NYU WIRELESS research center and NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, the series at the school’s Brooklyn, …

Today, when palm-sized devices can connect people to nearly anyone they wish, from almost anywhere in the world, one might be excused for thinking amateur, or “ham”, radio is a thing of bygone days, buried behind old copies of “Dick Tracy” and “The Hardy Boys.” Not so. Amateur radio operators are more important now than ever, particularly since …

Following this year’s Brooklyn 5G Summit, I’m still wondering whether there will be a “killer app” for 5G networks. For 4G LTE, it’s easy to argue that the most important use case turned out to be video, which went from about zero on earlier generations of wireless networks to making up the majority of traffic. But as in …
