T-Mobile boosts backing for 5G start-ups - Mobile World Live 18 FEB 2021
T-Mobile US teamed with the Georgia Institute of Technology and Curiosity Lab to launch an incubator programme to help developers test and market 5G services.
The 5G Connected Future programme is an offshoot of a scheme dubbed the T-Mobile Accelerator. The latest initiative will focus on developing services for autonomous vehicles; robotics; industrial drones; mixed reality training and entertainment; remote medical care; personal health; and fitness wearables, among other things.
Work will be conducted from a 25,000 square-foot laboratory in Atlanta, co-managed by Georgia Institute of Technology’s Advanced Technology Development Centre (ATDC), which will recruit and evaluate start-ups and work with the operator to provide coaching, business connections and other support to participants.

T-Mobile is launching a new 5G incubator program for startups to help develop next-generation applications by leveraging resources from the carrier, Georgia Tech, and Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners.
Dubbed the 5G Connected Future program, it builds on earlier initiatives by the operator to help move 5G-enabled services and tech forward, like T-Mobile’s Accelerator program.
The program is to take place in the 500-acre smart city tech park of Peachtree Corners, which has 25,000 square foot Innovation Center and a 3-mile track to test autonomous vehicles.

Farming, it is the most important job on our planet, and it is an industry with massive potential for generating and using raw data. Yet few industries have been as limited by data connectivity. With 5G, that is changing. All around the world farmers are embracing wireless technology, finding better ways to feed and sustain the planet.
We are working to help fuel this innovation, and today we announced a collaboration between Snohomish County, the 5G Open Innovation Lab and our partners to create a state-of-the-art agriculture technology field lab at two farms in rural Washington. It is called the Food Resiliency Project and it is funded by the CARES Act with the goal to bring together farmers, distributors and technology companies to transform the agriculture industry and improve food resiliency.
