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 &mdash The Brooklyn 6G Summit has become the place to see and hear about technologies and use cases under consideration for 6G. In addition to presentation and panel discussions, the conference includes exhibits highlighting research that could find its way into 6G.
The exhibits at Brooklyn 6G are not like those at a typical trade show, where salespeople try to sell their products. Instead, the exhibition includes posters and demonstrations showing ongoing research from NYU Wireless students. Several companies also exhibited technologies that highlight possible technologies for 6G. All but one of the videos below demonstrate research and applications for integrated communication and sensing (ISAC), sometimes called joint communications and sensing (JSAC).
Keysight and MediaTek worked together on two demonstrations related to (ISAC). In the first video, Keysight’s Mike Millhaem and Abhinav Mahadevan show AI target identification with OFDM radar.
A demonstration from MediaTek shows one of the possible implementations for ISAC. In this video, you’ll see how inserting packets into a transmission can allow for sensing while showing a small decrease in communication throughput.
A research demonstration from NYU Wireless also shows how signals can sense indoor location. PhD candidate and research assistant Haozhe Lei explains how the system works.
In this video, Anritsu’s Adnan Khan demonstrates monostatic, bistatic, and multi-static JCAS measurements in an indoor environment.
In another demonstration of reflected signals, NYU Wireless students Ishaan Gupte and Isha Jariwala demonstrate a research project called “Mitigating Blockages in Line-of-Sight Paths Using FR3 Frequency Agility.”
Power consumption has risen in importance because of AI bits flowing through data centers. To reduce power consumption, you first have to measure it. NI’s Sarah LaSelva explains a system for measuring power consumption in servers.

While mmWave and terahertz don’t get much talk anymore, that doesn’t mean research has stopped.
ISAC received a lot of attention, but how to implement it is still in the research phase. This poster shows how AI might be used for reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS).
According to NVIDIA, the Sionna Research Kit is a “real-time, accelerated, fully open platform for wireless research and development. It runs on the NVIDIA DGX Spark and is built on the OpenAirInterface (OAI), providing a complete base station using software-defined radio (SDR) and 5G core network that operates in real-time.” It’s a wireless network in a box.
AI will be everywhere in 6G, from radios that adapt to their environment to the radio access network to the core network. VIAVI shows how AI will fit into service assurance. Yes, someday 6G will be deployed.
This research shows that AI agents could run at the network edge and in home computing centers.
NYU Wireless, host of the Brooklyn 6G Summit, has finally accepted wireless communications. Sometime between Brooklyn 6G 2024 and Brooklyn 6G 2025, NYU removed the pay phone. This photo shows the phone in 2023 on the left and the blank, repaired, and painted wall in 2025 on the right. Had I known the phone was going to be removed after the 2024 conference, I would have taken a more recent photo.
