\n DALLAS<\/span>, April 19, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0What’s the news? <\/b>The University of Connecticut<\/span> (UConn<\/span>) and AT&T*<\/a> are working together to advance entrepreneurship, innovation, and data science using AT&T 5G+ millimeter wave and Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC) technology on the Stamford<\/span> campus. The AT&T 5G+ network will allow the university to advance academic programs that will explore new use cases and expand entrepreneurial activity. <\/p>\n

With the support of CTNext<\/a> and StamfordNext<\/a>, AT&T’s collaboration with UConn Stamford will bring 5G capabilities to bolster the UConn Stamford Data Science Initiative which includes the Stamford Start-up Studio, the UConn Technology Incubation Program (TIP Digital) in Stamford<\/span>, and the work of a soon to be hired team of data science research faculty. AT&T and UConn<\/span> expect the Stamford<\/span> campus’s new resources to connect industry expertise with student and faculty innovation to create pathways to career opportunities and open avenues to new cutting-edge research. <\/p>\n

\n Why is this important?<\/b> AT&T 5G infrastructure will provide wireless high-speed connectivity at UConn Stamford. MEC computing is essentially a cellular network architecture that when used with 5G+ allows near real-time, ultra high-bandwidth, and ultra-low latency access to latency dependent mobile applications. 5G and MEC will help connect students, faculty, and university partners via a private network. In other words, the technology will enable UConn Stamford to deliver advanced experiences and outcomes to students, faculty, and research communities without data having to travel to remote data centers.<\/p>\n

The addition of AT&T’s 5G+ mmWave service will enhance UConn Stamford’s ability to serve the state, region, and university by strengthening and expanding Connecticut’s<\/span> innovation ecosystem. Academic programs and student life should also benefit, while the socio-economic impact of this development stands to tangibly benefit University partners and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

AT&T and UConn<\/span> expect the new 5G lab to support a broad array of technology tools and innovations that can help the university expand its work in entrepreneurship and data science. UConn<\/span> use cases powered by AT&T 5G+ will include:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
