NTIA Schedules Sept. 26 Listening Session on Wireless Innovation Fund

NTIA will convene a virtual industry roundtable listening session on the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund on Sept. 26, a notice for Friday’s Federal Register said. The session starts at 10 a.m. EDT. NTIA said it’s seeking specific feedback on “ongoing barriers” to open radio access network adoption, “including for example, technology gaps and market challenges, among others, and opportunities to address such barriers,” expected use cases for “open and interoperable standards-based networks in public and private 5G networks” and “desired outcomes from industry, including relevant trials, deployment models, or proofs of concept.” The agency awarded its initial grants under the fund 13 months ago (see 2308080047).
