A new research and development lab has been established at Richardson’s IQ®HQ facility at 1302 E. Collins Blvd., to pursue research, testing, evaluation and development of the next generation of 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) products and services.
Called The OpenLab, it is affiliated with a nationwide consortium led by AT&T and Verizon and includes UT Dallas’ Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, as well as major network operators like India-based Reliance Jio and Japanese telecommunications company NTT DOCOMO, and vendors such as Keysight, Ericsson, Samsung, Fujitsu and CommScope.
OpenLab’s location within The IQ®HQ offers exposure to a vibrant ecosystem of researchers, enterprise partners and entrepreneurs and aligns with the City Council’s vision for The IQ®HQ in facilitating collaboration, innovation and experimentation.
5G offers data rates about 100 times that of 4G components and is primarily used for enhanced mobile broadband.
