Proximus last week announced the inauguration of its 5G innovation platform and onboards first customer.
As of today, Proximus offers its Enterprise-customers a dedicated co-creation environment where they can explore the opportunities of 5G for their specific business. The 5G innovation platform allows companies to test and validate their 5G use cases at a limited investment cost.
In October, Proximus announced the creation of a dedicated 5G innovation platform, with the aim to develop innovative solutions answering today’s societal and business needs through collaboration and co-creation. After a first phase of building, integration and testing, the platform has now reached a level of maturity that allows to start onboarding customers.
The inauguration shapes Proximus’ ambition to be at the forefront of 5G innovation, in collaboration with partners, and in co-creation with customers. As first concrete project illustrating this, Proximus has partnered with Mr. Watts and construction company B&R Bouwgroep – Hooyberghs around the 3D visualization of building projects for the construction sector.
A young and dynamic Belgian company, Mr. Watts is developing a digital application to visualize room lay-out, floor plans, 3D models and digital twins to experience designs of a building at scale and in context. Using HoloLens technology to ensure the integration of the 3D models in a real-life environment, Mr. Watts’ visualizations provide a wealth of information for constructors, allowing to make informed decisions at any moment during the building process. The high bandwidth, low latency and secured character of the 5G connection ensures the necessary stability to visualize the outcome of a project on site as well as remotely, with unprecedented precision.
