The Army wants to expand its existing smart base transportation testbed at Fort Carson, Colo., to include smart traffic and weather artificial intelligence platforms.
Fort Carson’s testbed already includes a 4G/5G network, an autonomous vehicle shuttle for personnel and drone airfield services for debris detection and analysis. Now the Army plans to leverage the existing testbed and expand into the Colorado Springs local community with sensor deployment, data integration and the development of AI models and decision dashboards that integrate traffic and weather-related information.
The Army Corps of Engineers announced on Feb. 1 that it will be partnering with US Ignite in a follow-on contract to R&D work the nonprofit performed on the smart transportation platform. The initial project also gave the Army the opportunity to experiment with AI, data analytics and edge computing.

Shentel has been providing wireless service to portions of a six-state area, including Virginia.(Pixabay)
Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel) is exiting the wireless business that it entered as an affiliate of Sprint back in 1995, but that doesn’t mean it’s getting out of wireless entirely.
The company holds licenses in the 2.5 and 3.5 GHz bands that it’s using for its Beam fixed wireless service. The 2.5 GHz holdings are connected to Broadband Radio Service (BRS) licenses and Educational Broadband Service (EBS) leases, and the 3.5 GHz is what it acquired in the Citizens Broadband Radio Services (CBRS) auction last year. In total, Shentel’s spectrum covers more than 5 million PoPs for an average spectrum depth of 39 MHz.
