On Thursday, May 26th, a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the end of phase 1 of TPG Telecom’s private network project with AT&T, and the opening of one of the nation’s largest 5G research testbeds at the Texas A&M University System RELLIS Campus.
TPG is proud to have been a part of this groundbreaking project for Texas A&M and AT&T. We erected the towers, installed all equipment, and assisted with the commissioning and integration of this state-of-the-art system. Below are links to more information about the project as a whole, which goes well beyond just a group of typical cell sites. Phase 1 is now complete, and we look forward to Phase 2 starting later this month.
From Texas A&M News Release:
A series of demonstrations by experts from Texas A&M and AT&T showed how 5G can help power a wide range of innovations:
-
-
- Food prices could drop as crop yields grow and costs are trimmed through use of data-gathering drones, deep-learning algorithms and robotic farming practices.
- Emergency health care could improve as paramedics at a scene continuously stream and share video and vitals to consult with ER doctors.
- Veterinarians could use similar techniques to inform the triage and treatment of livestock and pets after natural disasters.
- Businesses could address staffing challenges using immersive, remote forms of augmented-reality training, collaboration and management.
- Soldiers and field commanders could gain advantage over adversaries by using lighter, faster, smarter, nimbler and more resilient communication systems. (TAMUS)
