NYU WIRELESS and SiBEAM, Monday announced that SiBEAM has joined the university research center as an industrial-affiliate sponsor to advance fundamental research on 5G technology. The partnership will see both entities exploring the potential of mobile radio services in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio spectrum - an area in which NYU WIRELESS is developing the fundamental science and mathematical channel models needed to develop 5G equipment and in which SiBEAM is a technological leader and industry pioneer of semiconductor solutions. The use of the mmWave spectrum is emerging as practical through the pioneering radio propagation and system simulation work at NYU WIRELESS and SiBEAM’s mmWave semiconductor products.
Centered at New York University’s Brooklyn engineering location, NYU WIRELESS is a multi-disciplinary academic research center within the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering while SiBEAM is a pioneer in the intelligent millimeter wave technologies for wireless communications, developing 60GHz chipsets using the standard CMOS technology.
Professor Theodore (Ted) Rappaport, Director & Founder, NYU WIRELESS
It is exciting to have SiBEAM join our board of industrial affiliate sponsors, and we look forward to working closely to improve knowledge and capabilities of millimeter-wave technologies. Partnering with an industry leader such as SiBEAM will benefit both entities, as we seek to move the wireless world up in bandwidth and in carrier frequency.
Khurram Sheikh, President, SiBEAM
We are pleased to engage with NYU WIRELESS toward our common goal of introducing solutions that accelerate deployment of the fifth generation of wireless. SiBEAM’s vision of universally available gigabit wireless interactivity encompasses millimeter-wave solutions that provide coverage from centimeters to hundreds of meters—and we expect this collaboration with NYU WIRELESS will greatly extend the possibilities of wireless reach.
