“This is where the rubber meets the road in our efforts to innovate in 5G, autonomous transportation, and smart cities. “We’re thrilled to partner with US Ignite, JMA Wireless, and Federated Wireless to bring cutting edge 5G to Fort Carson,” says Joshua Broder, Tilson CEO. The new network at Fort Carson will initially support the upload of vehicle data from the Army installation’s Mountain Express Automated Shuttle, as well as video traffic from route-monitoring cameras. “We’re very lucky to partner with Tilson, JMA, and Federated Wireless for deployment, and look forward to the connectivity and new capabilities this network will enable.” This network is foundational for the early IoT use cases we’re testing at Fort Carson, but it’s also an asset for future research and development efforts targeted at improving public safety, services, and quality of life,” explains Scott Turnbull, Director of Technology for US Ignite. “Building smart bases and smart communities requires advanced network infrastructure. Also, Federated Wireless is contributing its Spectrum Controller product, which the network will use to access shared Citizens Broadband Radio Spectrum (CBRS). Partners in deployment include network design firm Tilson, and communications technology provider JMA Wireless (JMA). Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). The new network will be part of the Fort Carson Smart Transportation Testbed, a $4 million project run by US Ignite, with funding and management from the U.S. WASHINGTON – US Ignite has finalized plans and will shortly begin construction on a dedicated 4G/5G network for IoT research at Fort Carson, Colorado, a United States Army installation.US Ignite, a high-tech nonprofit with a mission to accelerate smart communities, announced it has finalized plans and will shortly begin construction on a dedicated 4G/5G network for IoT research at Fort Carson, Colorado, a United States Army installation. The network is part of the Fort Carson Smart Transportation Testbed, a $4 million project run by US Ignite, with funding and management from the U.S. Federated Wireless is contributing its Spectrum Controller, which the network will use to access shared Citizens Broadband Radio Spectrum (CBRS). The new network at Fort Carson will initially support the upload of vehicle data from the Army installation's Mountain Express Automated Shuttle, as well as video traffic from route-monitoring cameras. Longer term, the network is designed for broader IoT research – including environmental analysis with air quality and weather sensors – that is planned as part of a collaborative initiative among Fort Carson, the city of Colorado Springs, and the University of Colorado Boulder. "Building smart bases and smart communities requires advanced network infrastructure. "We're very lucky to partner with Tilson, JMA, and Federated Wireless for deployment, and look forward to the connectivity and new capabilities this network will enable." This network is foundational for the early IoT use cases we're testing at Fort Carson, but it's also an asset for future research and development efforts targeted at improving public safety, services, and quality of life," said Scott Turnbull, Director of Technology for US Ignite. CBRS access supported by the Federated Wireless Spectrum Controller.5G and 4G powered by JMA's software-based, ORAN-compliant XRAN solution.Support for over 1,000 simultaneous device connections.At least 250 Megabits per second (Mbps) throughput.The Fort Carson research network will support 4G and 5G traffic over the CBRS band. "We're thrilled to partner with US Ignite, JMA Wireless, and Federated Wireless to bring cutting edge 5G to Fort Carson," said Joshua Broder, Tilson CEO. We all expect to learn a great deal through this pilot that we can apply on bigger projects to come."
