5G

5G, or 'Fifth Generation,' wireless technology, is rapidly rolling out worldwide. While most people associate 5G with their cell phones, envisioning increased data access and faster speeds for social media and content downloads, its potential goes far beyond. Did you know that 5G is also engineered to connect large-scale infrastructure projects and serve as a more secure, future-proof, and faster alternative to WiFi networks?

There are many components that makeup 5G networks, but one of the biggest changes is that the radio and data aspects of the technology are separate, allowing for more security, increased speeds, and lower latency. Eventually, 5G can be used to replace wires for data communications and lay the groundwork for 6G and other future wireless technologies.  

So, what does this mean for you? In the future, 5G won't just be about cell phones. It could replace wires in your office and home, ushering in faster and more secure networks for industrial, medical, and any network in rugged or austere environments.

RPI Group is at the forefront of 5G technology, developing a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) 5G network based on open-source software and interfaces. This cost-effective wireless network is secure and perfectly suited for a variety of environments, including DoD, responders, and critical infrastructure customers.
