AT&T said it is working with the University of Tennessee (UT) to carry out research activities using 5G millimeter wave spectrum and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) technology.
The AT&T 5G+ network being installed at the UT campus will enable the university to explore uses in several industries including defense, public safety, healthcare, education, entertainment and banking.
The testbed installation, which uses millimeter wave frequencies, is underway and expected to be completed by fall 2021, AT&T said.
