National Instruments Corp. (NASDAQ:NATI) has been primarily known by engineers and scientists as one of the premiere test and measurement equipment companies. In my nearly 25 years experience in high tech, I’ve spent a lot of time in many labs, and have seen National instruments gear in nearly every one of them. While National Instruments customers like SpaceX, Max Planck Institute, and Ford get most of the attention, National Instruments is starting to garner attention in the 5G wireless research market with its new offerings. National Instruments rethought the entire value chain in 5G research and prototyping, which could very well disrupt companies like . If you want a deep dive, you can read our white paper (free) here. Otherwise, read on. If it’s not blindingly obvious, the growth in connected devices, whether it’s smartphones, tablets, cars, connected homes or wearables will create a future shortage in the required bandwidth. With each successive standard, whether it was 2G, 3G, 4G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, came more bandwidth to apply to more devices at faster speeds. It takes literally a decade to create and deliver reasonable “research to prototype” for each major jump in wireless technology, and that’s where National Instruments comes into play.
