US Cellular has announced its partnership with Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s (UWM) Connected Systems Institute (CSI) manufacturing research facility to deploy a 5G private cellular network solution to support next-generation IoT sensors and controls. Ericsson and Rockwell Automation are also involved in the project, with the former providing its 4G and 5G radio and dual mode core technology, while the latter invested $1.7 million to help launch the UW facility itself in 2017.
