Two New York University Tandon School of Engineering faculty members won multi-year 2019 best paper awards from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) — a prestigious and unusual double accolade for faculty members from the same university.
Marco Mezzavilla outlines public-safety benefits of 60 GHz comms, particularly with drones
![drone](https://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/drone-news-700x386.jpg)
Marco Mezzavilla, a research scientist at NYU WIRELESS, explains how public-safety agencies could leverage 60 GHz unlicensed spectrum to deliver multiple-gigabits-per-second data speeds. One primary use case would be to enable real-time video streaming from aerial drones over one-mile links that could support a daisy-chain architecture to increase the total effective range.

Researchers say 6G will stream human brain-caliber AI to wireless devices
As 5G networks continue to expand in cities and countries across the globe, key researchers have already started to lay the foundation for 6G deployments roughly a decade from now. This time, they say, the key selling point won’t be faster phones or wireless home internet service, but rather a range of advanced industrial and …

5G: The Opportunity Is Here
![](https://wireless.engineering.nyu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/rappaport-present.jpg)
The amount of data consumed globally increases by 50% each year, and I predict that four years from now our current 50% annual ramp will reach 70% to 80%. Why the jump? Because the rollout of 5Gwill accelerate data consumption exponentially. Organizations continually need wider pipes to accommodate ever-growing data volumes. Base stations and other 5G infrastructure will …
