It’s fertile ground for transformative thinking, and the open data that is now available thanks to governments seeking to be more transparent can be at the centre of creative solutions to some of the world’s most significant problems. Check out some Communitech companies exploring the bright future of enviro-tech. Intersection of Machine Learning and HD 3D Map technology slashes costs of 5G build-outHERE Technologies, Shields and Infosys are collaborating on a powerful and cost-effective way to perform 5G network design and deployment. It’s estimated that this will enable enterprises to reduce the time to identify real estate acquisition as well as cut the cost of RF design by more than 40%. Read More Programs & Events Data Hub Sessions: Introduction to the 5G ENCQOR Program and IPaaS Testbed Wednesday, March 27, 2019 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | Communitech Data Hub ENCQOR is building a 5G wireless testbed at the Communitech Data Hub to enable small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to get early access to a state-of-the-art 5G development platform for prototyping new products and services. The platform supports enhanced mobile broadband, low latency for mission-critical machine-type communication and massive machine-type communications for the Internet of Things (IoT). SMEs accessing the testbed will be among the first to scale and commercialize 5G-enabled solutions, giving them a considerable first-to-market advantage in the global economy.
