Stafford to hold grand opening event for county’s 5G testbed

After nearly two years of planning and development, Stafford County will soon have a grand opening for the Virginia Smart Community Testbed on May 25.

Stafford County began a partnership with the Virginia Center for Innovative Technology in 2019 to establish the downtown area as a testbed for new smart technology and devices.

According to information from the county government, the partnership has generated over $1 million in smart technology pilot programs over the last 12 to 15 months. It has attracted a few technology companies who have sent staff to participate in the testbed, such as Verizon and McLean-based OST, inc.
