5G is just getting established, but 6G will be following behind. Those who fail to get moving on 6G development now eventually will find themselves in a hole. NI (formerly National Instruments) isn't sitting idly by, but rather has identified four candidate technologies within the scope of 6G. It's also buttressed itself by joining a pair of industry initiatives: the Next G Alliance and NYU Wireless's Industry Affiliates program.

In this video, NI's Director of Semiconductor Marketing, David Hall, chats with Microwaves & RF editor David Maliniak about NI's push toward 6G.
