Huawei, Telus to Establish '5G Living Lab' in Downtown Vancouver

Huawei has signed an MOU with Telus to establish a “5G Living Lab” to help in delivering next-generation converged fibre-wireless network in downtown Vancouver. To support the new lab, Huawei said that it will be making a significant investment to design, test and deploy ground-breaking new technologies, leading towards the development of next-generation 5G based telecommunications networks. 

This agreement follows Telus’ recently announced $1-billion investment to expand its fibre optic network in Vancouver, which will ultimately provide the backbone to support highly efficient and lightning-fast wireless speeds as the development road maps for wireless and wireline networks converge around 5G concepts. 

Ken Hu, Co-CEO, Huawei
TELUS is recognized globally as one of the world’s most advanced telecommunications operators. The opportunity to partner with TELUS to deploy innovative new technologies is critical to our global 5G research and development process and positions TELUS on the leading edge of next-generation telecommunications technology deployment.

Eros Spadotto, Executive Vice President of Technology Strategy for TELUS.
Working with Huawei, our efforts will lay the groundwork for delivering a converged fibre-wireless network with the potential to deliver dramatically faster wireless speeds, thereby improving citizens’ lives and generating significant new social, educational and economic opportunities.
