08 Octobre 2020 - 3:00PM
Verizon Business continues to accelerate the development of
real-world 5G use cases with the rollout of its latest 5G
Innovation Hub at the University of Illinois Research Park.
Students, startups and large corporations will now be able to
develop and test 5G-enabled solutions at the Research Park’s
headquarters. The Research Park, a technology innovation hub for
startups and corporate R&D operations, is home to more than 120
companies employing students and full-time tech professionals. It
is located on campus at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.
Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service at the Innovation Hub will
drive new research and development around using 5G for machine
learning, IoT, robotics, artificial intelligence, guided vehicles,
drones, manufacturing process automation, virtual reality, data
analytics and more.
“Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband’s super-fast speeds, increased
bandwidth and low latency can enhance applications for industries
ranging from agriculture to manufacturing,” said Tami Erwin, EVP
and CEO of Verizon Business. “The Research Park is an ideal
location for our latest 5G Innovation Hub serving as an environment
that cultivates startups, and inspires collaboration among various
corporate partners and students to spur creativity and accelerate
the innovation process.”
“The importance of 5G innovation and its impact to our campus
and private sector partners in the Research Park is immeasurable,”
said Dr. Susan Martinis, Vice Chancellor of Research and Innovation
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “This will
accelerate the ability of our Research Park corporate partners and
startups to develop technology that will harness the potential from
5G’s capabilities. We are proud to have the first such innovation
hub at a university research park or incubator, and believe it will
enhance our technology community and campus as a whole.”
This engagement is part of Verizon Business’ broader strategy to
partner with enterprises, startups, universities, national labs and
government/military to explore how 5G can disrupt and transform
nearly every industry. Verizon is building 5G Ultra Wideband right
– 25 times faster than 4G LTE*, super-low latency and massive
bandwidth. The network will support the technology innovations that
will improve how we live, work and play. Verizon operates six 5G
Labs in the U.S. and one in London that specialize in developing
uses cases in industries ranging from healthcare to public safety
to entertainment. In addition, Verizon is setting up 5G Innovation
Hubs on premise for several customers as part of an ongoing
initiative to partner on 5G-related use cases to help customers
transform their industries. 5G Ultra Wideband is currently
available in parts of 36 cities.
