5G labs are becoming very popular. CSPs are welcoming partners to work with them to come up with new ideas and use cases that will ultimately drive increased use of 5G networks and effectively increase their revenues.
In Europe, Orange has a 5G lab where, according to their website, they are “shaping the world of tomorrow” and “are here to support our collaborators and to help them develop new pragmatic use cases with 5G networks.”
In the U.S., Verizon also has a 5G lab where they “work with start-ups, academia and enterprise teams to build a 5G-powered world.” In India after 5G was launched in October 2022, the Indian government announced that they “plan to set up 100 5G labs across the country.”
