The 2025 NYU Brooklyn 6G Summit took place here on November 6 and 7. The videos and photos from the exhibits show you the research into what could make it into 6G.
Brooklyn, NY — The Brooklyn 6G Summit has become the go-to event for exploring technologies and use cases being considered for 6G. Alongside presentations and panel discussions, the summit features exhibits showcasing research that could shape the future of 6G.
Unlike typical trade show exhibits focused on sales, the displays at the Brooklyn 6G Summit highlight ongoing research by NYU Wireless students. Various companies also showcased technologies that could potentially play a role in 6G development. Most of the videos featured below demonstrate research and applications related to integrated communication and sensing (ISAC), also known as joint communications and sensing (JSAC).
Keysight and MediaTek collaborated on two demonstrations related to ISAC. The first video showcases AI target identification with OFDM radar by Keysight’s Mike Millhaem and Abhinav Mahadevan.
A demonstration by MediaTek illustrates a potential implementation for ISAC, demonstrating how inserting packets into a transmission can enable sensing with minimal impact on communication throughput.
A research demonstration by NYU Wireless highlights how signals can be used to sense indoor location. PhD candidate and research assistant Haozhe Lei explains the system’s functionality.
Additionally, Anritsu’s Adnan Khan demonstrates monostatic, bistatic, and multi-static JCAS measurements in an indoor environment in another video.
NYU Wireless students Ishaan Gupte and Isha Jariwala showcase a research project called “Mitigating Blockages in Line-of-Sight Paths Using FR3 Frequency Agility” in a demonstration of reflected signals.
To address the rising power consumption in data centers due to AI processing, NI’s Sarah LaSelva presents a system for measuring power consumption in servers.
The photos below capture several exhibit tables and posters, offering a glimpse into the diverse research areas covered at the summit.
While mmWave and terahertz technologies may not be as prominently discussed, research in these areas continues to progress.
ISAC has garnered significant attention, with ongoing research focusing on its implementation. The poster below explores how AI could be leveraged for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS).
NVIDIA has introduced the Sionna Research Kit, a real-time, accelerated platform for wireless research and development. Operating on the NVIDIA DGX Spark and built on the OpenAirInterface (OAI), this kit offers a comprehensive base station utilizing software-defined radio (SDR) and a 5G core network in real-time, essentially a wireless network in a box.
AI is set to play a pivotal role in 6G, from adaptive radios to core network integration. VIAVI demonstrates how AI will contribute to service assurance, offering a glimpse into the future deployment of 6G.
This research explores the deployment of AI agents at the network edge and within home computing centers.
NYU Wireless, the host of the Brooklyn 6G Summit, has embraced wireless communications by removing the pay phone between the 2024 and 2025 conferences. The photo comparison below showcases the transformation, highlighting the evolution towards a more technology-centric environment.
