Cutting-edge wireless innovations at Brooklyn 6G Summit

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — THIS WEEK’S BROOKLYN 6G SUMMIT, an annual event for the wireless communications industry co-organized by Nokia and the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, showcased the latest access technologies, including subTHz/mmWave, integrated sensing and communication, Cloud and IoT, among others.

Dozens of speakers from telecom companies, universities and labs — from NVIDIA to MIT — visited Downtown Brooklyn to speak on cutting-edge wireless research.

Nokia kicked off the Summit by showing off a prototype radio operating between 7 and 30 GHz, developed in partnership with Rohde & Schwarz. According to Dani Korpi of Nokia Bell Labs, the goal is to help operators deploy 6G using existing 5G infrastructure without building costly new base stations. The innovation features an “AI-enabled” receiver designed to detect and correct distorted high-power signals with higher accuracy than classical filters, expanding coverage. Nokia says that this device outpaces current receivers’ reach by 10-25%.

Commercial 6G rollout is expected around 2030, with other telecom giants like Ericsson, Huawei and Samsung advancing similar research.
