Abstract: This document provides an analysis of responses to the 5G Challenge Notice of Inquiry (NOI) issued by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD). This analysis was created by NTIA’s Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) to inform future collaborations between the DoD and NTIA. This analysis will feed into the creation of a 5G Challenge and Incentive Program that accelerates the maturity of 5G open interfaces and between vendor module interoperability. This will allow new participants to enter the 5G market.
