“Imagine you are an academic researcher working on new telemetry systems to combat COVID-19, a city planner trying to leverage 5G for a widespread IOT deployment, an educator working on content rich learning solutions for underserved students, or a government innovator trying to protect in theater troops with real time secure access to advanced intelligence information. As quickly as you develop your prototype, you can integrate and visualize your results with existing business applications. This is Digital Transformation and the new 5G speed of innovation,” remarked Sean Hendrix, Managing Director of the Indiana 5G Zone. “The edgeCore solution will not only help us facilitate advanced 5G research, it will also help us and our members rapidly deliver 5G solutions that improve society.”
