Note:
In this project, UNT and COMSovereign, based in Dallas, will collaborate to develop a 5G capability that enables advanced research on 5G and applications using MEC concepts. Such an approach enables a more cost-effective deployment of resilient, private 5G networks while facilitating high speed bandwidths and ultra-low latencies. COMSovereign’s 5G system is ideally suitable for mobile infrastructure deployment and aerial transportation R&D. The Edge-Centric Hosted 5G Infrastructure Test Platform will enable UNT to expand its research into a multitude of mobility applications and relevant use cases (e.g., public safety, aerial networks, autonomous and unmanned operations, ultra-low latency operations such as factory automation, precision farming, and smart cities, campuses, and homes). The UNT-COMSovereign team is committed to developing the proposed 5G test platform into a widely accessible research and development platform for research collaborators and industrial partners across the DFW area and beyond. As such, the proposed 5G test platform will help advance regional economic development and further develop technology innovation leadership of the region in the emerging 5G technology industry.
