UConn and AT&T are collaborating to advance academic programs in data science, entrepreneurship, and innovation by bringing 5G+ millimeter wave and multi-access edge (MEC) technology to the Stamford campus, the company and University announced Monday, April 19.
The partnership makes UConn Stamford one of the region’s first campuses to use the advanced capabilities in its current academic and entrepreneurial activities, and to provide the technological foundation to establish and expand others.
With the support of CTNext and StamfordNext, 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, and the work of a soon-to-be hired team of data science research faculty.
