JMA Wireless 5G for Public Sector

5G for Public Sector

JMA is among the few companies in the world to actually be delivering cutting-edge 5G for the public sector. JMA and other leading American wireless technology companies successfully demonstrated an advanced 5G private network that will launch a smart warehouse at the Marine Corps Logistics Base at Albany, GA as part of the Department of Defense 5G-to-Next G Initiative. The Federated Wireless-led solution, consisting of JMA, Cisco, Vectrus, Capstone Partners and Perspecta Labs, is an all-American team that has utilized a software-centric design to go from contract award to working system in less than half-a-year, well over six months ahead of other 5G programs using traditional, custom hardware solutions. Instead of expensive hardware replacements every three to five years to keep up with technological advancements, XRAN will allow the network to quickly and continually evolve through simple software updates–all while matching the performance of the best custom hardware.

Our efforts on defense-side are mirrored in citizen-facing efforts, Faced with the reality that 32% of residents did not have high-speed Internet connectivity, the City of Tucson looked for a new way to deliver connectivity that would both save costs and fund the deployment of a next-generation network, while expanding connectivity for underserved citizens. Enter JMA, to provide the CBRS network infrastructure to offer secure connection over larger areas. JMA’s one-of-a-kind solution leveraged advanced network hardware and fully-upgradable XRAN software to serve free, reliable broadband internet to 5 school districts and 5000 households. That’s only Phase 1. As Tucson progresses towards its smart city vision, JMA’s aforementioned software will require zero costly hardware upgrades, bringing the promise of a more connected and more equitable future within grasp.

JMA looks forward to additional opportunities to work with DoD and other government agencies to strengthen U.S. leadership in wireless network technology.
