Austin, TX. Cobham Wireless announced that it is sponsoring the 5G Summit at the 21st annual NIWeek, where more than 3,200 innovators from a variety of industries explore how advances in transportation, semiconductor test, 5G communications, and more are converging to link our physical world with digital infrastructure to create the Internet of Things (IoT).
The industry-focused 5G Summit takes place today at NIWeek. Ian Langley, SVP and general manager of Cobham Wireless, will give an introductory address to the afternoon session at 1 p.m.
“5G is an important element of the Cobham Wireless strategy, and we are delighted to be able to sponsor the 5G Summit,” said Langley. “As a founder member of the UK’s 5G Innovation Centre, we are playing an active role in the development of the new flexible and programmable air interfaces that are key to the evolution of the 5G ecosystem and to defining the networks of the future. Our work in 5G builds upon our current market leadership in both 4G network validation and wireless coverage solutions.”
“As the NI Global Preferred Partner for Cellular and Connectivity Solutions, Cobham Wireless is proud to be supporting NIWeek,” said Tony Robson, sales director of Cobham Wireless. “Our product portfolio includes a comprehensive range of test systems for both mobile terminals and infrastructure—base stations and small cells—built around NI’s PXI chassis and modules, and a number of leading-edge applications and solutions based on these systems will be on show here on Booth 103.”
In February, Cobham Wireless, formerly the wireless test business of Aeroflex, and NI announced a worldwide partnership to service applications in cellular and connectivity with solutions based on PXI technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, NI acquired the existing Cobham PXI modular instruments hardware product line and became Cobham’s primary provider of PXI technology.
The companies said at the time that the acquired PXI modular instruments would be manufactured by NI and supplied exclusively to Cobham for sale through the Cobham Wireless business unit’s direct sales channels and brand. The companies also said they would collaborate to incorporate the latest NI PXI modular instruments, including the NI vector signal transceiver with LabVIEW FPGA, into Cobham’s next-generation cellular and connectivity test systems.
With the agreement, Cobham Wireless became the NI Global Preferred Partner for Cellular and Connectivity Applications, part of the NI Alliance Partner Network.
