CableLabs has joined the NYU WIRELESS university research center in the development of 5G mobile technology. CableLabs becomes the 12th industry affiliate sponsor of the research center, joining Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Samsung, Qualcomm and others.
NYU WIRELESS is developing fundamental science and mathematical channel models needed to create 5G equipment based on millimeter-wave (mmWave) radio spectrum. Researchers envision that new technology using the mmWave spectrum could increase today's wireless data capacity by a thousand-fold or more.
