EchoStar subsidiary Hughes selected by U.S. Army to deploy 5G Open RAN

EchoStar’s (SATS) subsidiary Hughes Network was awarded a $6.5M contract to deploy a 5G Open Radio Access Network – RAN – prototype at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. The network will feature a RAN Intelligent Controller, which will allow the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to test RIC-based software applications for military networks. The 5G Open RAN prototype equipment will be installed on Fort Bliss to operate a temporary network for evaluation purposes, which will then transition to serve as part of the Hughes commercial network supporting both DoD and commercial customers in and around Fort Bliss.
