Niles, IL (November 17, 2021)—Shure has joined WInnForum and 5G-MAG. WInnForum (Wireless Innovation Forum) focuses on standards and spectrum utilization in wireless communications systems, while 5G-MAG (5G Media Action Group) is an association bridging the media with Information and Communications Technology industries.
With WInnForum’s focus on advancing technologies to better utilize spectrum and develop wireless communications systems, Shure believes that getting involved with the organization will help develop new technologies that would allow wireless microphones to get access to “free” or “affordable” spectrum to satisfy the growing needs of the audio industry.
The organization’s membership includes equipment vendors, subsystem vendors, software developers, technology developers, communication service providers, research and engineering organizations, academic institutions, government users and regulators.
