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, …

Founding NYU WIRELESS Director Ted Rappaport, presented at the Fourth mmWave RCN conference at NYU Tandon on July 12, 2018. His presentation was focused on the CoMP and Hybrid Beamforming for 5G mmWave. Watch his presentation below.

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 …

While I was at the Brooklyn 5G Summit, I had the chance to catch up with Martin Cooper, who while working for Motorola led the team that created the first portable mobile phone in 1973 and, using that device, made the first mobile call. Cooper was at the event to deliver a keynote, and, as he …

A couple of weeks ago, I attended the Brooklyn 5G Summit at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, where I was struck by the progress that’s been made toward building 5G networks and the uncertainly that still exists about the uses and economics of 5G in general. Many attendees assured me that I would actually be using …
