A 5G-enabled workspace is set to open in Eldon Square, offering businesses chance to test new products and access virtual reality technology.
The Immersive Lab is being delivered by Digital Catapult with £700,000 funding support from the North of Tyne Combined Authority. Located in the former Giraffe restaurant, in the Greys Quarter section of the shopping centre, the space will feature a Vodafone 5G standalone test bed and immersive technologies such as virtual reality, and will offer co-working areas, meeting rooms and event spaces.
Organisers say it will host technology workshops, business challenges and demonstrations to help businesses understand 5G and then begin to innovate with it. Members of the public will also be invited to the lab to learn about 5G and immersive technology.
