Samsung is working with the US military to develop 5G-based solutions that leverage AR headsets. In particular, Samsung Networks and GBL Systems are helping the Army to create a private 5G network that uses both millimeter wave and mid-band spectrum to power 5G-connected devices that are connected to AR headsets. On the network side, Samsung is providing all the pieces necessary for the testing, including Massive MIMO radios and cloud-native 5G Standalone core hardware. In addition, it’s a very interesting example of the power that the combination of 5G, AR, and edge computing can offer. It likely won’t be long, for example, before 5G-equipped AR headsets become commercially available, making these types of solutions accessible to a much wider range of customers at a significantly lower cost.
