TELUS and Huawei partner to build ‘5G Living Lab’ in Vancouver

TELUS have announced that they have a memorandum of understanding with telecommunications and ICT supplier Huawei to build a “5G Living Lab” in Vancouver. The new project will have Huawei and TELUS testing next-generation converged fibre-wireless network in downtown Vancouver. Huawei will be making a “significant investment” in the design, testing, and deployment of new technology to help develop 5G-based telecommunications network. This agreement follows TELUS’ announcement of a $1-billion investment to expand its fibre optic network in Vancouver.

This partnership is also in line with helping the City of Vancouver meet its goal of making it the world’s greenest city by 2020. They will serve as providers of network capacity and speed needed to create a “smart city” as well as support for other sustainability-focused technology initiatives.

You might have tons and tons of email subscriptions you don’t know how to get rid of. Or you’ve been using Unroll.me on your desktop for a while already. If you’re an iOS user, you can now bring that experience to your iPhone or iPad with the new Unroll.me app. It turns tossing newsletters into a Tinder-like experience. You just swipe left the little cards these newsletter emails have been turned into if you want to trash them. If you swipe up, it will “roll up” these emails into a digest whenever there are a group of new releases. If you want to keep the newsletters, you swipe right. Unroll.me will keep them in the same place.
