NYU Wireless: Marco Mezzavilla outlines public-safety benefits of 60 GHz comms, particularly with drones

Marco Mezzavilla, a research scientist at New York University (NYU) Wireless, explains how public-safety agencies could leverage 60 GHz unlicensed spectrum to deliver multiple-gigabits-per-second data speeds. One primary use case would be to enable real-time video streaming from aerial drones over one-mile links that could support a daisy-chain architecture to increase the total effective range.

Mezzavilla spoke with IWCE’s Urgent Communications Editor Donny Jackson during the PSCR Public Safety Broadband Stakeholders Meeting conducted earlier this month in Chicago.
