AT&T and the Veterans Affairs Department have in partnership turned the initial lights on for a 5G and related multiple-access edge computing network at one of the VA’s largest health care hubs.
While there is more to come, the Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle now has a distributed antenna system compatible with the needed spectrum and other components needed to enable 5G capabilities.
The Puget Sound system’s new mental health and research building is one of those components that now has 5G coverage. AT&T and the VA eye further deployments of multiple-access edge computing and 5G spectrum later this year at faster speeds and better latency throughout the complex.
