Why 5G is Safe
Fall 2020
There is no connection between COVID-19 infections and 5G. Anyone who tells you different either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or is trying to sell you on something.But you don’t have to take our word for it. We talked with Dr. Theodore Rappaport, founding director of NYU Wireless and 5G expert, about this claim. Not only does he state that there is“absolutely no factual basis” to a 5G-coronavirus connection, he’s written an entire paper on the safety of this new mobile technology.

5G—What Does it Mean and When Will it Happen?
Spring 2019
5G—what does it mean and when will it “happen?” To help answer this question, this issue of the Pulse has a primer on 5G, and briefly explains how it differs from the previous four generations of cellular telephones. NYU WIRELESS has been fortunate to have played a major role in setting a vision and demonstrating the viability of new frequency bands, millimeter wave bands, never before believed to be viable for mobile communications, so we are in a strong position to see beyond 5G, and to ask the question “what comes next?”

NYU WIRELESS Poised for New Growth
Fall 2018
In August 2012, when a handful of faculty founded NYU WIRELESS, my students and I had in our possession the world’s first massive collection of 28 GHz propagation data from the streets of New York City. We knew that millimeter wave wireless communications would work better in mobile environments than anyone would be- lieve, and we were convinced that millimeter wave spectrum was the only way the wireless world could keep up with consumer demand…
