The Pi-Radio FR3 SDR is Operational
It’s no secret that companies including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are eying millimeter wave bands like 28 GHz and 39 GHz for their planned 5G tests and networks. And early assessments indicate that these bands can help speed wireless transmissions to 1 Gbps or higher. But this isn’t the first time wireless players have sought …
EETimes: 5G mmW Models Go Open Source
In an effort to speed 5G development, NYU Tandon’s wireless research center will provide its channel models and measurements for cellular propagation in the millimeter wave (mmW) band as free, open-source software. The simulation will help product developers understand the behavior and capabilities of the mmW radio spectrum. “Generally, individual companies or universities work on …
FCC Spectrum Frontiers Workshop
The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and the International Bureau hosted a workshop exploring the concepts raised in the Commission’s Spectrum Frontiers NPRM and the state of technological developments in the millimeter wave (mmW) bands. In parallel to the workshop, OET, WTB, and IB hosted equipment demonstrations illustrating some of the …
Verizon And FCC Push ‘MmWave’ For 5G Wireless, In Dot-Com Twist
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 …

5G Phone Service is on the Horizon
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 …
Ted Rappaport Keynoting Major FCC Hearing on Millimeter Wave
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 …

NYU WIRELESS Releases Open Source 5G Channel Simulator
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 …

To Speed Development of 5G, NYU WIRELESS Will Make Key Software Free and Open to All
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 …
MM-Wave Radio Spectrum Becomes Tangible 5G Path
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-, …

Electrical Engineering the “Best Job in the World”
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 …
