March 15 2018 - 9:07AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, congratulates Bristol on its 2018 Global
Mobile Awards (GLOMO) win for Bristol is Open in the category,
Smart City—The Judges’ Choice. According to the judges, Bristol was
given the award based on the strong IoT network testbed and the
city operations center it has built as part of the Bristol is Open
(BIO) initiative, the region’s programmable city project.
BIO is a collaborative initiative jointly
governed by the Bristol City Council and the University of Bristol.
Together with technology, media, telecommunications industry and
local, regional and national government, BIO is on a mission to
transform the way this UK city operates through the use of smart
technology.
To achieve this mission, Bristol has formed
important collaborations with leading companies in the technology,
media and telecommunications sector. As one of these partners,
InterDigital has made a positive contribution to prove the
technology within the BIO test bed.
In August 2017, InterDigital conducted a joint
trial with BIO to demonstrate the capabilities of InterDigital’s
Flexible IP-based Services (FLIPS) solution. InterDigital has
collaborated further with BIO on various projects including RIFE, a
trial aiming to address the major societal challenge of providing
affordable internet by solving the technological challenges of 5G,
and on the H2020 Europe FLAME project, which saw the launch of the
first urban-scale 5G test bed in Bristol and Barcelona.
Bristol was chosen for the award from among
several other leading smart cities, including Barcelona, Dubai, New
York, Singapore and Yinchuan.
Jim Nolan, Executive Vice President, Products,
InterDigital, said: “We are delighted to see an innovative city
such as Bristol be awarded one of the telecoms industry’s most
prestigious awards. As a partner, we’re committed to helping cities
like Bristol innovate and develop in a way that harnesses the
capabilities of new and emerging technologies. This award further
reinforces both the work Bristol is doing towards the development
of smart cities and the work that we, as a partner, and as an
industry, are doing to collaborate to make these new developments
happen.”
