JMA WIRELESS, RUNNING ON AWS, PROVIDES NEW CAMPUS PRIVATE WIRELESS NETWORK TO CARNEGIE MELLON
JMA Wireless (JMA) announced today the completion of a new private wireless network for Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) that will use Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) to power ongoing research and innovation in CMU’s Living Edge Lab.
The Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS)-based wireless system is powered by an end-to-end solution that covers multiple areas across the campus. At the heart of the solution is JMA’s XRAN virtualized RAN software and the Druid Software core operating on AWS Snowball Edge. A fiber network connecting JMA’s Cell Hub outdoor CBRS radios around the campus along with JMA’s directional CBRS antennas deployed by Crown Castle completed the solution. JMA and AWS collaborated to define and build the solution for CMU, which uses AWS Snowball Edge as a compute engine for cloud core and an environment to deploy edge applications research as part of the Living Edge Lab.
The Living Edge Lab is led by the Edge Computing Research Team of Professor Mahadev Satyanarayanan (aka Satya) at CMU in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is a resource of the Open Edge Computing Initiative.
