DALLAS and FAIRFAX, Va., July 20,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- COMSovereign Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:
COMS) ("COMSovereign" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based developer of
4G LTE Advanced and 5G Communication Systems and Solutions, has
entered into an innovation partnership with George Mason University (Mason) and Widelity,
Inc. to research 5G applications and use cases.
This partnership aims to research and build 5G-enabling
applications and technologies to create new business, community,
and higher education engagements. The work builds on Mason's work
in 5G and the ecosystem of university, industry and government
partners collaborating through the Northern Virginia Node of the
Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI). Cybersecurity of 5G has been
an initial focus area for CCI since its inception in 2019.
"CCI has been a catalyst for connecting industry and government
cybersecurity challenges with university faculty with expertise,
innovative technologies and solutions," said Liza Wilson Durant, Director of the Northern
Virginia Node of CCI. "University-industry partnerships such as
this one accelerates delivery of new solutions to the innovation
ecosystem."
Through the partnership, Mason will provide R&D and concept
development of 5G applications such as connected transport and
smart infrastructure. COMSovereign will support the research by
providing standalone 5G wireless network hardware and related
support services that include a complete, "turn-key" 5G network
featuring a 3GPP standardized, 5G Core (5GCN), and 5G gNodeB base
station. Widelity will contribute business and engineering services
in technology strategy, research and development, network design,
lab testing and integration, and network deployment. The
collaboration is expected to accelerate advances in cybersecurity
of 5G, implementation of 5G in smart communities and support the
growing innovation ecosystem in the region.
"We are pleased to partner with Mason and Widelity on this
cutting-edge 5G smart campus program. At COMSovereign, our mission
remains focused on unlocking the true potential of 5G through the
development and commercialization of advanced, American-made
wireless infrastructure," said Dr. Dustin
McIntire, Chief Technology Officer of COMSovereign. "By
leveraging the proven integration capabilities of Widelity with the
research capabilities of the Mason team, we believe that not only
will we be able to advance 5G technology, but we will greatly
expand its potential use cases for customers across both government
and commercial sectors."
"Wireless networking technology has become a critical
underpinning of the modern world, without which commerce and nearly
every other facet of day-to-day life as we know it would be
disrupted and even halted," added Duminda
Wijesekera, Professor, Department of Computer Science,
Acting Chair – Department of Cyber Security Engineering. "As a
leading public research institution, it is through close
collaboration with innovative technology companies such as
COMSovereign and Widelity that we can help ensure that students are
well prepared to excel in the wirelessly connected world of
tomorrow."
"This is an organized digital innovation partnership to bring
technology, academia, and integration components to solve complex
problems together. Further, this 5G/Cyber accelerator program will
enable an organic entrepreneurial ecosystem to serve the regional
economy via next-gen research and growth in STEM talent," stated
Parag Singh, Managing Director at
Widelity.
