Located in Fort Collins, Colorado, the HPE 5G Lab provides a standards-based environment for testing, validation and proof-of-concept demonstrations of multivendor 5G solutions – a neutral proving ground for independent solutions providers. To minimize their risks, 5G operators are looking to work with trusted and proven partners that can demonstrate performance and interoperability in a live, real time test environment. The HPE 5G Labs program allows operators to embrace the shift to an open network with confidence and assurance.
To mark the virtual opening of the HPE 5G Lab we are bringing you two special panel discussions between HPE executives and their partner companies.
