Vuzix' Smart Glasses on the Sprint Curiosity™ core IoT network
will utilize the industry's first dedicated, virtualized and
distributed core network coupled with an operating system
purpose-built for billions of connected devices.
"The Curiosity™ IoT core network was designed to support AR/VR

serve customers across multiple vertical market applications," said
Ivo Rook, Senior Vice President, IoT
and Product Development at Sprint.
Through Sprint Curiosity™ IoT, Vuzix' customers and
channel partners will be able to provision the Vuzix Smart Glasses
bundles and leverage Vuzix software services to develop or enhance
their vertical market offerings. Sprint plans to test Vuzix
Smart Glasses in their Supply Chain Connected Lab to provide
real-time visibility including operational data analytics to
increase warehouse efficiencies, and remote employee training.
"This new launch expands accessibility to our Vuzix Remote
Assist subscription-based see-what-I-see SaaS offering for the
remote worker," said Paul Travers,
President and CEO of Vuzix. "We see this relationship as much more
than a product offering, as it represents a new avenue to develop
integrated solutions that enhance the customer experience and drive
better business performance."
