WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —<\/p> \n

Purdue Research Foundation<\/a>, a nonprofit organization created to advance the mission of\u00a0Purdue University<\/a>, received an award for the private wireless project it manages in Discovery Park District at Purdue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PRF\u2019s \u201cPrivate Cellular Network as a Service\u201d was named the overall winner on July 25 for International Data Corp.\u2019s inaugural IDC Future Enterprise Best in Future Connectedness North America Awards program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRF\u2019s project uses a private mobile network from Celona to blanket the 400-acre, $1 billion Discovery Park District, a mixed-use development with residential, industrial and commercial buildings adjacent to Purdue University\u2019s West Lafayette campus. The network provides connectivity to enable commercial and smart city uses throughout the work-play-live district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Broecker, chief innovation and collaboration officer for PRF, said in another release, \u201cWith the rise of unlicensed cellular spectrum and private mobile networks, communities like Discovery Park District now have the power to chart their own course in terms of what advanced services and applications they can deliver to their members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom students getting home broadband for the first time to the Industrial IoT, the sheer diversity of customers and application requirements demonstrates how CBRS-based technologies, or technologies based on Citizens Broadband Radio Service, serve businesses, schools, industrial organizations and municipalities alike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
