2023 5G Challenge Update: Three Contestant Pairs Pass Stage Three End to End Interoperability Testing
At the National Telecommunications and Information Administration we’re working to catalyze the development of an open 5G wireless ecosystem to help the private sector move away from a highly consolidated marketplace with few vendors and technologies.
One way we’re doing this is through our lab at the Institute of Telecommunications Sciences, which is partnering with the Department of Defense on the 2023 5G Challenge. The 2023 5G Challenge tests whether an open 5G ecosystem can work in real world scenarios.
The challenge tests whether components of an open radio access network (Open RAN) can work together to ultimately create an end-to-end 5G network.
