NI acquires BEEcube to strengthen 5G wireless technology

NI has acquired BEEcube, a supplier of FPGA prototyping and deployment products for wireless research and wireless infrastructure, to strengthen its focus on 5G wireless technology.

“As the Internet of Things (IoT) drives demand for data and an increasing number of connected devices, NI is excited to be at the forefront of research and prototyping tools for next-generation 5G wireless technology,” said Charles Schroeder, NI director of RF communications.

NI believes that the acquisition of BEEcube will strengthen its leadership position as 5G progresses toward commercialization.

BEEcube will operate as a wholly-owned NI subsidiary under the leadership of Chang and continue to sell and support its products under the BEEcube brand through its direct and distributor channels.
