🚀 In a recent joint experiment, ICCS - NTUA | PCRL - Photonics Communications Research Laboratory, Intracom Telecom, Cumucore and NVIDIA-MLNX demonstrated CNC-based control of TSN traffic over a high-frequency E-band mmWave wireless link.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝:
✅ Real-time monitoring of constellation diagrams and SNR
✅ Manual blockage simulation and instant detection via zero throughput
✅ Full link recovery with restored 256-QAM transmission and original traffic levels

This experiment shows how advanced network control can improve the reliability of wireless high-speed links.

📌 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐝 for more results from our ongoing research and testing!
