Federated Wireless Response to USAF Digital Spaceport of the Future

Federated Wireless is proposing a private 5G wireless network integrated with an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outpost Edge Compute platform that will help standardize future Assured Access to Space (AATS) automation and data integration leveraging the evolutionary wireless capabilities of 5G such as ultra-reliable low latency, high capacity, extreme mobility and tight coupling of network with user applications. Unlike prior cellular systems, 5G is a software upgradable, cloud-enabled wireless platform supporting massive IoT connectivity and high bandwidth applications. The Federated Wireless 5G and Edge Compute proposed solution will support the AATS/SPACEWERX Challenge in the following ways: Accelerate data gathering from a common wireless platform for next generation wireless sensors. Reduce time and labor between sequential launch support steps by connecting multiple future systems such as video surveillance, weather stations and robotic sentinels. Eliminate potential stovepipe sensor data transmit protocols but focusing future vendors on industry standard 5G wireless communication. Rapidly onboard future technologies to a common wireless testbed. The end result is a deployed private 5G network at Cape Canaveral.
