Ford is planning to build a private LTE/5G network in the 3.5GHz CBRS band in a parking structure on its Dearborn, Michigan, campus to test connected vehicle services. Ford said it will use equipment from Dell, Juniper and Ericsson for the effort, including eight of Ericsson's indoor Dot Radio-branded small cells.

Ford provided an outline of its plans in a filing with the FCC to request permission to build a test network in the spectrum band.
