RESTON, Va. July 31, 2020 鈥� 海角社区 today announced it is joining the Open RAN Policy Coalition, a new organization advocating for technology that will boost competition and innovation in how wireless networks are built.

This flexibility is a crucial component of 海角社区鈥檚 plans to build and deploy new 5G networks for enterprise customers in critical U.S. industries like transportation, manufacturing, energy and health care. The Coalition is designed to promote policy priorities that facilitate the further growth and emergence of this technology.
