VERIZON 5G INNOVATION

HUB BY DANIA BOUSTANY

IF YOU THOUGHT 4G WAS FAST, 5G SOLUTIONS CAN TRANSFORM YOUR DAILY LIFE.

Now, innovators, including startups, universities, large enterprises, and the public sector can come together in a dedicated development and collaboration space known as Verizon 5G Innovation Hub.

The Hub, a space where 5G-enabled solutions can be developed and tested across a variety of industries prevalent in our community such as healthcare, technology, autonomous mobility, health and wellness, education, retail, and sports.

And thanks to our exclusive Verizon 5G broadband capacity, innovators that use the Verizon 5G Innovation Hub are also able to test their solutions in Lake Nona’s real world living lab environment.

The new Verizon 5G Innovation Hub is part of Verizon’s broader strategy to partner with businesses and organizations to explore how 5G can disrupt and transform nearly every industry.

“We’re creating Innovation Hubs powered by Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband to serve as launch pads for high-impact, transformational experiences and are excited to see the new 5G use cases that will be developed in Lake Nona,”

said said Sampath Sowmyanarayan, SVP and President of Enterprise at Verizon.

In fact, 5G testing is already underway in Lake Nona to improve safety features in our autonomous shuttles. Verizon is working with our partners at Beep on a pilot program that involves Verizon’s 4G LTE and 5G Ultra Wideband networks, Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC), Real Time Kinematics (RTK), and Computer Vision.

“A 5G-enabled future will transform our daily lives in ways we’ve only just begun to imagine,” said Juan Santos, Senior Vice President of Innovation at Tavistock, Lake Nona’s developer. We’re excited to expand our 5G capabilities in Lake Nona and to attract the brightest minds and biggest ideas to the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Orlando.”

The Verizon 5G Innovation Hub is sharing a space the leAD Lake Nona Sports & Health Tech Accelerator within the ground floor of the new 16,000-square-foot Pixon MS2 space creating an optimal environment for collaboration and innovation. l
