National Instruments Korea and Nubicom have partnered with Yonsei University and SensorView to build a demonstration ecosystem for next-generation communication technologies.

NI, Nubicom, Yonsei University, and SensorView announced on the 7th that they have established a full-scale cooperation framework to strengthen domestic telecommunications technology competitiveness by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to conduct joint research and build demonstration systems in the fields of 6G, AI-based wireless access networks (AI-RAN), and low-orbit satellite communication.

This collaboration is a strategy to proactively secure a foundation for demonstration by consolidating technologies from industry, academia, and research institutes, centered on NI's measurement and testbed technology capabilities and Nubicom's field engineering and solution supply capabilities, amidst the trend of the global telecommunications market being reorganized around 6G and satellite communication.

NI Korea provides global standard-level measurement platforms, including a USRP/VST3-based 6G/satellite communication testbed, a cRIO-based power measurement solution, and AI-RAN configuration technology.

NI's open SDR ecosystem, which extends from the early stages of research to the establishment of experimental environments, automation, and demonstration support, will be utilized as the core infrastructure for this collaboration.

Nubicom is responsible for system configuration and supply based on NI solutions, on-site engineering support, demonstration operations, and marketing for global expansion.

Beyond simple equipment supply, research & miIt takes on the role of connecting demonstration and diffusion into a single flow, thereby strengthening the execution capabilities of demonstration projects.

Shin Dong-man, CEO of Nubicom, stated, “6G, AI-RAN, and satellite communication are the core of future infrastructure, and a demonstration environment to verify them is absolutely necessary.” He added, “Based on our experience in building NI-based testbeds, we will actively support domestic technology in securing global competitiveness.”

Jeong Gu-hwan, President of NI Korea, also emphasized, “This collaboration is a crucial turning point for preempting the next-generation communication paradigm,” adding, “The combination of NI’s measurement technology and the capabilities of Yonsei University, SensorVue, and Nuvicom will create practical applications that will succeed in the global market.”
