IMDA to offer 5G capabilities consultancy with Microsoft

They will create an environment for co-creating 5G use cases.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) will collaborate with Microsoft to offer technical capabilities consultancy to government agencies, enterprises and tech companies in developing 5G applications and services, according to a press release.

Signing a Memorandum of Intent (MOI), they will make available a 5G development environment for participants to co-create 5G use cases, and will share best practices on 5G standards, interoperability and security-by design principles.

IMDA’s PIXEL innovation space, announced in June to launch in 2020, will be the first open testbed to serve as a shared 5G Living Lab for the one-north tech and media startup community.

The space will allow collaboration with the Microsoft Technology Center, where organisations can access mentorship and support in crafting 5G proof-of-concept use cases through Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform.

They will also jointly explore 5G use cases in clusters like Smart Estates, Urban Mobility, Industry 4.0, Maritime Operations, Consumer and Government applications, and involve their partner ecosystems to accelerate 5G capability development for these industries.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
