Agreement Calls for Implementation of 5G Security Test Facility
Arlington, VA, 12-20-2019
University of Maryland, Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) and C-3 Comm Systems LLC (C-3) have entered into a consulting service agreement to investigate 5G security. The project is funded by the 5G and Future Generation Wireless Cross-Functional Team.
C-3 will help ARLIS to review, investigate and identify critical issues related with 5G architecture and securities. “Because of the higher speeds, lower latency and greater inter-device connectivity of 5G, the potential damage from compromised 5G networks could be even higher than on legacy networks” said Zhongren Cao, C-3’s Managing Director. “C-3 is pleased to enter into this agreement with ARLIS to establish facilities to find and mitigate 5G security risks.”
ARLIS will leverage C-3’s extensive experience to design a plan to develop and implement a software-defined radio (SDR) and software-defined network (SDN) based 5G testing facility to experimentally evaluate 5G systems’ security and vulnerabilities.
