Aeris (News - Alert) recently announced that it has joined the newly launched 5G Open Innovation Lab, an ecosystem for developers, enterprises, carriers and technology leaders, focused on helping startups utilize 5G to develop new capabilities, use cases and market categories.
Aeris said it will share its technical knowledge with Lab members looking to develop IoT applications and use cases employing 5G technology. The company will work closely with the Lab’s founding partners, including Intel (News - Alert), T-Mobile, and other partners, to help entrepreneurs and developers gain access to engineering, technology and industry insights that will enable the startup community.
“We’re delighted to be an inaugural technology partner with the 5G Open Innovation Lab, working with the Lab as a mentor and technical advisor,” said Syed Zaeem Hosain, co-founder and CTO, Aeris. “Aeris has already been active in supporting the low power LTE (News - Alert)-M, WAN portion of 5G, enabling services like propane tank capacity monitoring, smart metering, and smart homes. Near term, these low-usage applications will be one of the drivers in expanding the use and deployment of 5G. But over the longer term, we expect significant growth to come from high-usage, low-latency applications such as autonomous cars and virtual reality. We look forward to working with the Lab on future applications incorporating IoT and 5G and to further realizing its potential.”
