NYU Wireless, SiBeam Partner To Advance Wireless 5G Technologies

SiBeam is partnering with the NYU Wireless research center at the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering as an industrial-affiliate sponsor of fundamental research that is creating 5G, a news release from SiBeam said Monday. The FCC is exploring the potential of mobile radio services in the millimeter-wave radio spectrum, which researchers believe could increase today’s mobile data capacity by a thousandfold or more, the release said. SiBeam and NYU Wireless recently filed comments in response to the FCC notice of inquiry aimed at exploring the potential of mobile radio services in bands above 24 GHz, SiBeam said in the release. NYU Wireless filed recommendations on global competitiveness and regulation, safety and feasibility and timing as it seeks to shape and accelerate the 5G future, it said.
