NIST IR 8625 Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Near-Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) Security The RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) allows the RAN resources to configured, monitored and controlled to address specific use cases using

Wireless devices, from your phone to the internet router at work, need access to slices of radio frequencies to carry signals through the air. These slices are known as spectrum. Spectrum is a finite resource, and as technology advances, demand for

A wildfire burns through a mountain ridge, taking out all network infrastructure. Firefighters are left in a steep canyon, spread across 15 kilometers, with no network. They switch their LMR radios into direct mode, but the canyon walls block line-of

The latest release of the NIST 5G Open-Source Testbed Automation tool includes a new GNU Radio-based channel emulator that uses ZeroMQ to connect multiple cells and multiple UEs. Researchers can adjust signal paths with configurable attenuation and

The achievement shows that fragile quantum entanglement can survive even in tough, real-world conditions.

NIST Time and Frequency Division’s annual seminar covers precision clocks and oscillators, atomic frequency standards, rf and optical synchronization, optical oscillators, quantum information; position, navigation, timing (PNT) Global Navigation

NIST has announced an agreement with SRI International to establish the Quantum Manufacturing Engineering Center (QMEC).

The Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Research & Development Office today announced the signing of a definitive agreement with SandboxAQ for a $500 million award under the CHIPS and Science Act.

The Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program Office announced the signing of a letter of intent to provide up to $50 million in direct funding to Coherent Corp. (Coherent) under the CHIPS and Science Act.
