Samsung Electronics America and Amdocs today announced the
deployment of a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)-based
network across Howard University’s campus in Washington D.C,
delivering secure and enhanced broadband connectivity to students,
faculty and local residents traveling the university’s
campus.
As ubiquitous connectivity demands grow among its students,
Howard University recognized the need for a high-quality network
solution across campus that not only enhances digital learning and
information access, but also increases network security and
reliability. To achieve this, Howard University, along with their
IT consultant partner WAZ Wireless, looked to Samsung and Amdocs to
implement a private wireless network using CBRS, a mid-band radio
frequency spectrum from 3.5GHz to 3.7GHz that delivers high-quality
fixed wireless service, and offers network operators and
organizations a secure pathway to 5G.
CBRS is increasingly used to bring broadband wireless coverage
to consumers in underserved locations, as well as businesses and
organizations across industry. For Howard University, a
CBRS-powered private network provided the high levels of security
required and delivered the higher data speeds and lower latency
needed to ensure enhanced connectivity to more than 6,000 students
travelling across campus.
“The Samsung and Amdocs solution has provided our end users with
a reliable and sustainable solution for both CBRS and WiFi
connectivity,” said Jahmal Cue, Howard University Senior Network
and Infrastructure Manager. “The deployment was on schedule and
supported the various ‘use cases’ on the campus. We look forward to
continuing our relationship with Samsung and Amdocs to expand the
network.”
This deployment is part of a network collaboration agreement
between Samsung and Amdocs, which announced they will deliver
end-to-end 4G and 5G solutions to enterprises with a focus on
industries such as manufacturing, education and utilities.
The private network uses Samsung RAN solutions including
5G-ready 4T4R CBRS radios, connected to the company’s baseband
unit. Samsung’s CBRS radios are OnGo Alliance-certified, indicating
a product that meets the highest standards of quality,
interoperability and security.
As the lead systems integrator, Amdocs designed the network,
integrated the required network infrastructure (RAN, CORE,
transport, security), and performed the deployment services. In
addition, Amdocs is providing managed services to operate and
maintain the network. During implementation, Amdocs partnered with
small business teams to provide consulting and installation
support, which included Matek Inc. and WAZ Wireless.
“Amdocs and Samsung’s private network solution has provided
Howard University with a resilient wireless solution to augment the
main campus WiFi network, providing a platform to support Howard
University’s Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) for internet and
wireless connectivity,” said Olga Osaghae, Howard University
Interim Chief Information Officer.
“We’re pleased that Samsung’s CBRS technology was able to
quickly deliver secure and reliable wireless connectivity for the
students, faculty and visitors of Howard University,” said Imran
Akbar, Vice President and Head of New Business Team, Networks
Business, Samsung Electronics America. “Our CBRS radios have
accelerated digital connectivity across industries, and now,
working with Amdocs, we look forward to leveraging this versatile
technology to help the educational sector benefit from 4G and
5G-ready broadband wireless networks that deliver secure mobility
and meet campus needs.”
“As our society becomes more reliant on ubiquitous connectivity,
we’re pleased to provide Howard University a solution that enables
seamless experiences campus-wide,” said Anthony Goonetilleke,
Amdocs Group President of Technology and Head of Strategy. “As
demand for private networks increase, combined with advancements in
5G, we look forward to continuing our work with Samsung to provide
secure solutions across a variety of industries.”
