The event was attended by senior officials of AITI and UTB that took place at the Main Auditorium, Design & Technology building in Anggerek Desa. The collaborative agreement is to nurture the development of 5G use cases such as remote video monitoring, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications, and advanced Smart Campus. Both AITI and UTB agree that this collaboration will be able to generate the development of use cases based on 5G capabilities and its ecosystem which will be carried out at UTB Campus.
The agreement aims to set up a 5G innovation technology lab in UTB to showcase the implementation of the prototype 5G use cases applications and initiatives which will benefit both parties. The availability of such a lab to explore possibilities of 5G use cases will open up opportunities to collaborate with relevant segments across industries and other academic institutions.
