Airspan Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Airspan Networks Holdings
Inc. (NYSE American: MIMO), which provides ground-breaking,
disruptive software and hardware for 5G network solutions,
and Guident Corp., are working together to provide customers with
connectivity and software solutions for autonomous vehicle and
smart city use cases, using CBRS spectrum.
Airspan and Guident, developer of software solutions for
autonomous vehicles (AVs), ground-based delivery drones, and
electric vehicles (EVs) utilizing artificial intelligence
algorithms, have successfully deployed a 5G Private Networks
testbed based on CBRS at Guident’s facility in Boca Raton, Florida.
The testbed covers three square miles for developing, testing and
validating different use cases that require a fast, reliable
network with low latency. One key use case is the driving of
autonomous vehicles, which requires rapid decision making (low
latency) to provide enhanced safe driving operation at scale by
preventing potential autonomous vehicle accidents before they
happen.
The testbed features an Airspan AirSpeed system, along with
Guident’s software platform connected to a Remote Monitoring and
Control Center (RMCC). The combination has proven to have one of
the lowest glass-to-glass latency (camera-to-monitor) measurements
in the market of approximately 30 milliseconds. The innovation
developed for this project has resulted in Guident filing for its
eighth patent. Airspan will focus on providing and enhancing
connectivity with its innovative 5G software, hardware and air
interface mobility solutions. Guident is providing it’s patented,
advanced teleoperation for autonomous and human-driven vehicles, to
enhance customer safety and security in addition to providing a
reliable, low latency connection to any advanced mobile
network.
Florida was selected for the first project as Florida State law
#316.85, “Autonomous vehicles operation, compliance with traffic
and motor vehicle laws,” allows for the legal operation of
autonomous vehicles and delivery devices anywhere in the state
without a human driver, provided the vehicles are equipped with a
teleoperation system.
“Airspan is a leader in providing innovative 5G Private Network
solutions, and combining our software and hardware deployment
expertise along with Guident’s RMCC software platform for
autonomous vehicles provides a tremendous opportunity to develop
these critical use cases for our customers at scale,” said Airspan
Chairman and CEO Eric Stonestrom.
“We believe this effort will be a significant step towards the
adoption of an Open RAN Network architecture which allows both low
latency and secure connectivity for autonomous vehicle ecosystems.
Airspan’s disruptive, stand alone, cloud-native open architecture
is potentially transforming the way telecommunication networks are
built, and is a critical infrastructure component for connected
AVs. We are delighted to be working with Airspan to enhance the
reliability and performance of our proprietary AV remote monitoring
and control center,” said Harald Braun, Executive Chairman of
Guident.
