COMSovereign Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: COMS and COMSP), a U.S.-based developer of 4G LTE Advanced and 5G communication systems and solutions, and the University of North Texas College of Engineering (UNT), announced this week an agreement on the development and launch of a new 5G edge-centric research platform. The effort is funded in part by a new grant from the North Central Texas Council of Governments.

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, autonomous ground vehicles, mobile edge computing, and public safety communications. The new platform is being designed to be utilized by researchers at UNT as well as partners from local universities and industry in the region.

“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.

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, and 5G gNodeB base station, as well as its Saguna Mobile Edge Compute software technology. The university will provide onsite research staffing, engineering development resources and engage in public/private industry partnership development activities for the project.
