Subaru installs 5G network at Japanese test track

Subaru’s Bifuka Proving Ground in Hokkaido, Japan, now utilizes a local sub-6 5G standalone (SA) network, which is an infrastructure that uses the spectrum below 6GHz and covers the entire circuit in the Subaru R&E Center.

According to the company, the local 5G network across Subaru’s test course is the first to be used by a Japanese car maker. The network is trialling the use of cooperative driving automation.
