2025 Brooklyn 6G Summit — November 5-7
Sundeep Rangan & Team Receive NTIA Award
2025 Open House
A New York University (NYU) student research team pushed the envelope for millimeter wave network range in a recently conducted field test in rural southwest Virginia. Setting up a millimeter wave transmitter on the porch of the country home of their professor Ted Rappaport, the students found that they could receive signals at distances of …
Millimeter Waves Travel More Than 10 Kilometers in Rural Virginia 5G Experiment
A key 5G technology got an important test over the summer in an unlikely place. In August, a group of students from New York University packed up a van full of radio equipment and drove for ten hours to the rural town of Riner in southwest Virginia. Once there, they erected a transmitter on the …

NYUSIM Version 1.4 Now Available
The latest version (1.4) of NYUSIM, the open source 5G channel model simulator software, is now available to download from NYU WIRELESS. Changes to NYUSIM include: More operation steps were added on the top part of the simulator GUI to better instruct users. Detailed explanations of the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) and gain of the antenna …
Tandon Student Research Posters Win First and Second Place at IEEE Symposium
As more of the world increases its use of wireless devices and networks, researchers and telecommunication companies face challenges in how to balance the burden of billions of users with the demand for faster and more efficient networks. These challenges also occupy the minds of Electrical and Computer Engineering researchers at NYU Tandon, whose doctoral …

5 Academic Institutions Building 5G Technology
It’s likely that 5G, the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks, will be a complicated mish-mash of technologies. Some of the 5G vision includes existing technologies like LTE and LTE-Advanced Pro, self-organizing networks (SON), software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). But 5G will also likely include lesser-known technologies like massive …

Microwave Journal Interview with Ted Rappaport
On July 14, 2016 the FCC adopted new rules for wireless broadband operations above 24 GHz, making the U.S. the first country to make this spectrum available and leapfrogging other nations in the race for 5G mmWave technology. We thought this was a perfect time to talk with Theodore (Ted) Rappaport, Professor at NYU and …

NYU Wireless research shows real potential for millimeter wave in rural areas
It looks as though getting millimeter wave (mmWave) technology to work in rural areas might not be as daunting a task as it once appeared. Researchers at NYU Wireless went out into the field last summer to see for themselves, with some surprising results. In a paper titled “Millimeter Wave Wireless Communications: New Results for …

NYU researchers develop mobile self-care tools to mitigate onset of lymphedema
Each year, about 1.38 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have facilitated a 90 percent, five-year survival rate, among those treated. Given the increased rate and length of survival following breast cancer, more and more survivors are facing a life-time risk of developing breast cancer-related lymphedema; one of …
