NI announces next-generation 5G collaboration with Nokia

By using NI's integrated hardware and software baseband platform, Nokia plans to expedite its research and rapidly demonstrate the viability of high-frequency millimeter wave as an option for 5G radio access technology. Lauri Oksanen, Vice President of Research and Technology at Nokia, says: "Our experimental 5G Proof-of-Concept system will be implemented using NI's LabVIEW and PXI baseband modules, which is the state-of-art experimental system for rapid prototyping of 5G air interface available today."

Eric Starkloff, NI Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, says: "We are thrilled to work with Nokia on this project and others involving wireless research. Our software-defined platform based on LabVIEW and PXI is ideal for researching and prototyping standards such as 5G."
