To conduct the trials, Vi has partnered with startups – Vizzbee Robotics Solution and Tweek Labs, the company said in the statement.
“We are conducting 5G trials to identify a range of India specific use cases that can accelerate the achievement of smart cities, smart enterprises and smart citizens,” Abhijit Kishore, chief operating officer, Vodafone Idea, said in the statement.
Vizzbee Robotics Solution will help Vi to test its solutions In Unmanned Aerial Traffic Management (UTM) and the Management Server (Aerobridge) using 5G Network to validate solutions such as stream live video frames from the UAV over the network, demonstrate the public safety and law enforcement application for ground personnel, perform real-time analytics from the data captured via drones, amongst others.
Tweek Labs will test a full-bodied motion capture suit using 5G technology, that can be an effective solution for sports training as it helps monitor performance of athletes.
These trials come at a time when Vi along with rivals Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are preparing to participate in the upcoming 5G auctions. The airwaves will bring in the next generation of technology for subscribers.
