Come to NIWeek and Join the Software Defined Radio Revolution!

[bcwilson]

Wireless consumers’ insatiable demand for bandwidth has spurred unprecedented levels of investment in finding ways to increase network capacity.

NIWeek 2012 offers two unique opportunities to hear from some of the brightest minds in the wireless research industry on what is being done to meet these demands.

• NI RF/Communications Lead User Live Demos

Monday, August 6, 5:00–7:00 p.m., Expo Hall, near the RF Pavilion, just left of the cafe entrance

The NI RF/Communications Lead User Program has already had a big summer, collaborating with the likes of TU-Dresden on 5G wireless research, Notre Dame on next generation wireless, and more. The lead user program kicks off NIWeek by bringing together other world-renowned wireless researchers for live demonstrations and project sharing. These demos are up for one night only, so be sure to stop by!

• Software Defined Radio Experts Panel

Tuesday, August 7, 4:45–5:45 p.m., Ballroom F

Hear some of the world’s leading experts on software defined radio (SDR) discuss future challenges of prototyping RF and communications systems as bandwidth, wireless demands, and complexity grow at an exponential rate. Panelist include: Matt Ettus from Ettus Research, Costas Georghiades from Texas A&M University, Ted Rappaport from New York University, Frederick Harris from San Diego State University, and Robert Heath from University of Texas, Austin. The panel will be moderated by James Kimery, director of SDR and RF/communications at National Instruments.
