Intel Collaborates with Verizon and Ericsson on 5G Residential Trial in Indianapolis

Intel has officially joined hands with Verizon and Ericsson on a 5G residential trial in Speedway, Indiana near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This trial will take place on May 28 featuring a 5G-connected home. It will show trial attendees how to make the most of future multi-gigabit 5G speeds with low latency and high capacity.

 

Asha Keddy, vice president and general manager of Next Generation and Standards in the Communication and Devices Group at Intel, said, “5G will bring new experiences and business opportunities like exciting virtual reality in 4K and ultra-fast wireless home broadband. Intel, Verizon and Ericsson’s work in establishing early trials and testing is essential to deliver on our vision of making all devices smart and connected.”

 

 

In future, the 5G networks will render communications backbone for data-rich services and sophisticated cloud applications delivered in the fastest and most efficient way possible. This demonstration is a part of Intel’s work with communications service providers and equipment manufacturers ranging from the cloud to the network to the device. It aims to define standards, deploy trials and deliver products to bring 5G to life.

 

One of these demonstrations will also showcase a live 360-degree view of the racetrack using virtual reality (VR) and high-resolution 4K 360-degree video streaming live over the air. It will make use of an in-home gateway based on the Intel 5G Mobile Trial Platform and Intel connected home technology delivering 5G connectivity to head-mounted displays. The Intel-powered network reflects the 5G benefits offered to new consumer VR experiences.

 

 

Intel expands the boundaries of technology to make the most amazing experiences possible.
