NI’s 5G and 6G solutions enable researchers to quickly move from mathematical models to over-the-air testbeds—going beyond simulation to real-world experiments. Testbeds offer the ability to evaluate how new technologies will perform under realistic conditions and their potential for increasing network performance and enabling new services. Through integration of hardware and software, NI provides flexible solutions for engineers to rapidly prototype and deploy real-time wireless communications systems.
By leveraging software defined radio (SDR) technology, NI solutions combine flexibility and performance to enable researchers to experiment with new concepts and quickly iterate. Co-processing and FPGA acceleration pair with highly capable RF front ends to deliver real-time systems that are ideal for wireless research and prototyping. The modular, open architectures allow hardware and software system extensions to adapt to changing needs as wireless networks evolve beyond 5G.
NI offers affordable single-seat software licenses tailored for academic teaching and research. Eligible users must be affiliated with an academic institution, use the software exclusively for teaching or research purposes, and agree to the academic software agreement. The licenses include LabVIEW, FlexLogger, DIAdem, VeriStand, and more, and cannot be used for commercial purposes.
These vetted RF/Wireless partners are proficient in RF and wireless testing across product lifecycles, with expertise in standards like GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and ZigBee. Partners recommended for their research and prototyping capabilities excel in validating and refining prototypes, accelerating innovation while ensuring high-quality, reliable final products.
