5G Digital Living Lab

Located inside the HRBRC, the Digitalization Lab provides the means to measure the benefits of 5G and NextG systems from open-sourced solutions to high-end commercial solutions.

The results of these measures will allow researchers to better model 5G and NextG benefits to support risk analysis of future investments. With this information, HRBRC will support building applications and systems that use this technology to facilitate higher knowledge transfer, connectivity and system efficiency.
