Can you build your own 5G node (tower) with all open-source software and non-proprietary hardware? The answer is a resounding yes!  In the workshop, we will walk you through each component of a working open-source 5G node and show you how to connect it to a phone.  Bring your laptops so that you can follow along. We will have a faraday cage and the rest of the radio equipment so that you can safely see what it's like to set up a 5G node that connects to a commercial off-the-shelf phone. We will also give a review of what 5G is, why it is important in the internet of things, and more!
