Booz Allen's 5G/NextG Experiment Facilities
Our 5G/NextG experiment facilities provide the testing environments required to test new technologies, use cases, and cybersecurity solutions. Our facilities include the following advanced labs:
- 5G Carrier-Grade Lab: 5G standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) configurations enable testing of 5G in both carrier and enterprise configurations with backward-compatible 4G core features. Includes a multiaccess edge compute (MEC) solution; network slicing to provide segregated, cloud-native network functions; and a radio access network (RAN) capable of broadcasting at multiple bands, including mmWave (28 GHz) and mid-band (2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz).
- Multivendor Open-RAN Lab: Leveraging funding from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund, our Open-RAN lab is used to conduct security research on multivendor, Open-RAN systems, helping to advance the industry’s understanding of sophisticated threats and the conduct of security testing associated with these new types of 5G networks.
- Radio Frequency (RF) Engineering Lab: Among other capabilities, our RF systems laboratory supports RF spectrum monitoring, coverage measurements, and antenna and transmission line testing and validation. Our lab includes several RF analysis tools, including calibrated measurement receivers, test transmitters and antennas, portable network analysis equipment, and test equipment to test expeditionary operation of legacy or advanced RF communications systems. We incorporate advanced electromagnetic (EM) modeling and simulation tools in our lab to provide detailed computational electromagnetic modeling and simulation of antennas and their interaction with their mounting platforms and environment.
