Pioneering 5G tech from New Zealand was recently unveiled in Auckland which experts say could revolutionise a range of industries. Four businesses, which won a share of Spark s 5G Starter Fund last year, have spent six months developing prototypes and demonstrated a range of innovative technologies set to redefine eyecare, robotics, and gaming at Spark s Auckland head office. The competition awarded four innovative businesses a share of $625,000 plus mentoring and tech support in October last year. It was launched by Spark to help businesses harness the true potential of 5G to move our country forward - whether that be solutions that help take New Zealand towards a more sustainable future or new ideas that revolutionise the way we work and play.
