Fierce Telecom, which receives hundreds of submissions for the
Innovation Awards annually, has announced this year’s winners in
the 12 award categories. Airspan was named best for both its
Amarillo Connected Digital Divide solution for low-income students
and residents in Amarillo, TX, and for its innovative 5G Starter
Kit – A Network in a Box solution that is powering dozens of
Private Network deployments and collaborations around the
world.
Airspan’s 5G Starter Kit is a fully-functional 5G Stand Alone
(SA) Open RAN network solution that fits in a box, making it easy
to get started with 5G. The innovation resides in the Kit’s
simplicity and flexibility. A customer can turn on a 5G SA Private
Network in just days – not months. As an Open RAN leader, Airspan
understands integration is a main challenge for faster adoption,
which is why we provide plug & play deployment capability,
reducing time to market. The Starter Kit’s software updates include
the latest features from 3GPP and the O-RAN Alliance, support CUPS
to bring deployment flexibility for privacy or lower latency
requirements, and are designed to reach up to 2.4 Gbps of
throughput using 100 MHz bandwidth in sub-6GHz spectrum.
Nearly 40 5G Starter Kits have been deployed globally to meet
various use case requirements, including Industry 4.0, connected
vehicles and logistics for 5G/Open RAN private network deployments,
contributing to rapid private networks expansion, promoting 5G
adoption, and accelerating the Open RAN ecosystem worldwide:

RAN provider powering innovative 5G manufacturing use cases
- umlaut: umlaut is installing its first 5G campus network in
Aachen, Germany, leveraging the benefits of the 5G Starter Kit. The
Kit is helping to power its stand alone network, which will be used
to test a wide range of potential applications in
telecommunications, logistics, manufacturing, health & life
sciences, utilities and many other industries
- Mugler: The TU Kaiserslautern is using the 5G Starter Kit to
deploy several Private Networks for indoor and outdoor coverage
with the latest technology as part of a 5G research project in
Kaiserslautern, Germany. The 5G research project is funded by the
BMVI (the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital
Infrastructure).
“We are very proud to be named winners of two of the 12
Innovation Award categories, and the only company to earn more than
one award,” said Airspan Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Henrik
Smith-Petersen. “This recognition is a great proof source of our
ongoing innovation and leadership in both accelerating the adoption
of 5G technology and Private Network use cases and applications,
