New 5G System to Focus on Secure, Private,
Low-Cost and Delay-Sensitive Applications in Drones, Autonomous
Vehicles, Mobile Edge Computing and Public Safety
DALLAS and
DENTON, Texas, Feb. 21,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- COMSovereign Holding Corp.
(NASDAQ: COMS and COMSP) ("COMSovereign" or the "Company"), a
U.S.-based developer of 4G LTE Advanced and 5G communication
systems and solutions and the University of
North Texas ("UNT") College of Engineering, today announced
agreement on the development and launch of a new 5G Edge-Centric
research platform funded in part by a new grant from the North
Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG).
Under terms of the 5G research program,
COMSovereign and UNT will develop an edge-centric hosted 5G
infrastructure test platform for secure, private, low-cost, and
delay–sensitive applications. The project will feature a 5G
wireless communication testbed infrastructure designed to support a
wide range of research projects in mobility technologies including
unmanned aerial vehicles ("UAVs"), autonomous ground vehicles,
mobile edge computing, and public safety communications. The new
platform will be utilized by researchers at UNT as well as partners
from local universities and industry in the region.
"We are pleased to expand our ongoing research
collaboration with UNT, extending our 5G development efforts to
include an increased focus on wireless mobility for applications
including linking of UAVs, factory automation, precision
agriculture and smart cities. Through this new research platform,
we will seek to harness the power of 5G and critical enabling
technologies such as MEC for cutting-edge use cases in commercial
and military markets where wireless connectivity is impacted by
barriers such as latency, unlocking its full potential," said Dr.
Dustin McIntire, Chief Technology
Officer of COMSovereign.
According to Dr. Xinrong
Li and Dr. Kamesh Namuduri,
who are leading the project at the University
of North Texas, "This is an exciting expansion of our long
relationship with COMSovereign, one that allows us to build upon
the work currently underway in our 5G development efforts. Under
this new program, and thanks to the support of the NCTCOG, we will
be able to expand our focus on wireless connectivity and research
into Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technologies including UAVs where
UNT is already actively engaged with an expanding network of
industry and government partners."
In support of the research program with UNT,
COMSovereign is providing its standalone 5G wireless ORAN-FlexRAN
network hardware which features a 3GPP standardized, 5G Core
(5GCN), and 5G gNodeB base station, as well as its Saguna Mobile
Edge Compute ("MEC") software technology. UNT will provide onsite
research staffing, engineering development resources and engage in
public/private industry partnership development activities for the
project.
