London, June 12, 2020: To accelerate 5G innovation in Canada, the Western University has decided to tie-up with Bell Canada to create an advanced 5G research centre – turning the campus into a ‘living lab’ that will help shape smarter cities and communications systems, boost drone security, better manage business continuity, and more.
According to a press release, Bell will invest $2.7 million and deploy 5G network equipment and infrastructure throughout the Western campus. The partnership will also fund research and development initiatives, training opportunities, and technological innovations.
“We continue to look for innovative partnerships that put our research community in a position to have real impact on society,” said Sarah Prichard, Acting Vice-President (Research), in the press note. “By using campus as a ‘living lab’ for new technologies like 5G, we’re offering a unique opportunity to ask a full range of important questions across disciplines.”
