Our summer is off to a stellar start. Last week we showcased our 5G Living Lab work at the Electric Mobility Symposium (EMS) at MCAS Miramar. EMS attendees explored "smart city" solutions focused on autonomy & electric vehicles, energy resiliency, and 5G. We're excited to partner with industry and government leaders to unlock the future of electric mobility!
