Sydney, #Australia#nokia has today announced a five-year #partnership with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to build and run a state-of-the-art #5g innovation facility at the university's Tech Lab campus in Sydney, #Australia.

The #5g Innovation Lab will enable #nokia, UTS and their partners to push the boundaries of #5g technology by testing exciting new #5g use cases with real world applications, including Industry 4.0, IoT and smart cities. While providing a live #5g #test bed for commercial partners, the #5g Innovation Lab will also serve as an environment for new research opportunities within the ICT sector.

This multi-year, multi-million-dollar investment by #nokia reflects the company's commitment to Australian innovation and the essential role telecommunication plays in both securing critical infrastructure and fostering economic growth.

Researchers and commercial partners will undertake projects to explore the capabilities of #5g and 6G technologies for Industry 4.0 applications such as industrial automation, agriculture and human-robot interactions, as well as 'Internet of Things' capabilities for Internet of Energy applications in smart grid, energy storage and #management and wireless power transfer.

The facility will include a #5g lab and a #5g use case demonstration area, with campus-wide #5g coverage planned to allow for the development & testing of potential #5g use cases in both the lab and the field. The new lab will also connect directly into the university's anechoic radio frequency #test chamber - the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere - allowing researchers to #test the potential of Nokia's Massive MIMO and other innovative antenna technologies.

Nokia and UTS are very excited to be partnering together to lead the way for #5g innovation in #Australia.

Ray Kirby, Associate Professor, Director of UTS Tech Lab said: "UTS Tech Lab is a unique facility that supports collaboration with industry on research and development projects, such as this #partnership with #nokia, which will drive innovation and growth in #5g and 6G network infrastructure. Our cutting-edge equipment and world-class research talent combined with Nokia's commitment to innovation and technology leadership, is a strong #partnership to facilitate the development of new applications to unlock the huge potential of #5g and 6G."

Robert Joyce, Chief Technology Officer at #nokia Oceania, said: "We are pleased to collaborate with UTS on this exciting #5g adventure. This #partnership builds upon the existing innovative facilities at the university's Tech Lab and will enable researchers to develop, #test and demonstrate innovative uses of #5g here in #Australia. We are already exploring some exciting #5g use cases unique to #Australia and look forward to demonstrating these soon."
