T-Mobile Working With Hardware Startups at UW Lab

T-Mobile said Wednesday it's working with the 5G Open Innovation Lab at the University of Washington to allow hardware startups to develop, test and deploy new devices and services using T-Mobile 5G. “Lack of 5G access and connectivity is a bottleneck for many innovators,” the carrier said: The lab “allows entrepreneurs, researchers, and student teams to build, innovate, and integrate additional capabilities into their companies and products using next-generation connectivity.” T-Mobile said use cases may include biotech/medical devices, remote sensors, edge computing and “anything requiring low latency and high capacity where vast volumes of data must move almost instantly.”
