TORONTO, March 27,
2023 /CNW/ - TERAGO Inc. ("TERAGO" or the "Company")
(TSX: TGO) (https://terago.ca/), has deployed Canada's first 5G MMwave private network
dedicated to Industry 4.0 research in McMaster's new Manufacturing Research Institute
(MMRI) in Hamilton, Ontario.
Over the next three years, this private network will allow
researchers to test and develop new advanced manufacturing
technologies that leverage the capabilities of 5G MMwave networks.
5G Millimeter wave networks offer high-bandwidth and ultra-low
latency, and can simultaneously support thousands of devices. These
new networks will enable industries to lower costs, improve
efficiencies and increase worker safety by incorporating
innovations in augmented reality, high-speed vision systems,
massive industrial IoT deployments and autonomous vehicles.
"We are thrilled for the official launch of the 5G Millimeter
wave network with TERAGO and look forward to the strategic
innovative advancements that this partnership will bring to
Canada's industrial sector," said
John Preston, Associate Dean,
Research, Innovation and External Relations with the Faculty of
Engineering.
"As the first university adopting a private 5G Millimeter wave
network, we are leading the way for Industry 4.0 research. We are
incredibly excited to kick off this next chapter in our partnership
with TERAGO and to have this network up and running," said
Stephen Veldhuis, MMRI Director and
the Braley-Orlick Chair in Advanced Manufacturing
Engineering.
TERAGO and McMaster announced their
partnership back in November 2021,
and have since worked closely to develop use-cases that are being
explored by researchers inside McMaster's new, 21,000-square-foot advanced
manufacturing facility, powered by TERAGO's 5G MMwave private
network.
"We are extremely excited about the deployment of Canada's first 5G Millimeter private network
at the MMRI," said Matthew Gerber,
TERAGO's CEO. "Our collective teams will now be able to demonstrate
what a low latency, high speed millimeter private network can do
for Canadian manufacturers that are looking to enhance
capabilities, improve efficiencies and lower costs."
