Verizon and Newlab recently announced the results from the latest cohort of startups in the 5G Studio.
Verizon and Newlab created the 5G Studio in 2020 to support the development of next-generation applications aimed at transforming industries such as mobility, energy, and industrial automation. The selected startups leveraged Verizon’s Ultra Wideband 5G network and Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) capabilities installed at Newlab, to test their technologies.
The seven startups - e1ectr0n, Fermata Energy, Iterate Labs, Easy Aerial, Easy Aerial, Fantasmo, Sojourn - were selected from a cross-section of industries and disciplines, and include companies specializing in autonomous robots and autonomous drone data collection, bi-directional EV charging stations, machine learning and AI, and more.
This year’s 5G Studio, launched in early 2021, follows last year’s successful Studio, which saw the testing of numerous unique and transformative technologies.
