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-, …

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 …

A new wave of mobile technology is on its way, and will bring drastic change. Pressure is mounting for better wireless infrastructure. The rapid growth in data traffic will continue for the foreseeable future, says Sundeep Rangan of NYU Wireless, a department of New York University. According to one estimate, networks need to be ready …
The Industrial IoT (IIoT) 5G Industrialists were selected based on their vision and leadership in developing and implementing Industrial IoT 5G strategies to optimize their respective enterprises while growing the global digital economy. Industrial IoT 5G Innovators selections were based on individual contributions, research and leadership associated with specific use cases involving industrial IoT and/or …
