Two Army Installations Selected for 5G Testing and Experimentation
The U.S. Army's National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California and Fort Hood, Texas were selected by DoD for their second round of 5G communications testing and experimentation. Army elements at Joint Base San Antonio will also participate.
The bases were selected for their abilities to provide streamlined access to site-spectrum bands, mature fiber and wireless infrastructure, access to key facilities, support for new or improved infrastructure requirements and their abilities to conduct controlled experimentation with dynamic spectrum sharing.
