The Wright State University Foundation, altafiber, and Nokia announced the opening of a 5G Test Lab at Emergence Center One located at 3070 Presidential Drive in Fairborn, Ohio. Studio 5G will provide a hands-on environment to educate businesses about indoor and outdoor 4G and 5G technology, which enterprise organizations are increasingly using for their private networks to keep employees and devices connected in large buildings and open spaces. Private wireless 5G technology, like LTE, provides more coverage with greater reliability, deeper penetration with lower latency, and is more secure than typical Wi-Fi networks deployed today.

altafiber intends to use Studio 5G for validating customer-use cases without the extra time and expense of performing proof-of-concepts at customer locations. Use cases for this technology include the following: Providing seamless mobile connectivity between customer LAN Networks and end-user devices such as printers, scanners, and tablets. Providing cellular backhaul network to support Wi-Fi access points for large open areas such as parks or golf courses.

altafiber invested in CBRS Spectrum via the FCC auction in 2021. The company's goal is to use these priority licenses to create business solutions for its Enterprise customer base. Priority licenses include the following counties in Ohio and Kentucky: Ohio - Butler, Clark, Clermont, Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Warren Counties.

Kentucky - Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton and Pendleton Counties. Emergence Center One is part of the Wright State University Foundation's strategy to drive economic activity and growth in the Dayton region by connecting business with technology. altafiber's partnership with the Wright State University Foundation is the company's latest investment in Dayton.
