Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the fourth Brooklyn 5G Summit, which took place April 19-21 at the New York University (NYU) Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn, N.Y. A wide range of 5G topics were discussed at the event, such as massive multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO), 5G network architecture, and much more. In addition, the exhibition featured a number of demonstrations.
One company that had a notable presence at the Brooklyn 5G Summit is National Instruments (NI). NI made headlines in the days prior by announcing a generous donation to the NYU WIRELESS academic research center. The donation is intended to assist research efforts at NYU WIRELESS regarding 5G communications and beyond. Thanks to that donation, NYU WIRELESS labs will be able to take advantage of hardware and software from NI’s flexible software-defined-radio (SDR) solutions.
