Millimeter waves may not be 6G’s most promising spectrum; Open-source radio kit creates opportunities for FR3 band research
At NYU Tandon's 11th Brooklyn 6G Summit, researchers and industry leaders highlighted the pivotal role of FR3 spectrum in future wireless communications. NYU WIRELESS, through its spinoff Pi-Radio, is leading crucial research in this space. As NYU WIRELESS Associate Director Sundeep Rangan explained, "If you have frequency hopping, that means you can get systems that are resilient to blockage," suggesting FR3 could introduce new security dimensions previously unavailable in cellular infrastructure, marking a significant shift from millimeter wave-focused development.
