Welcome to the 5G IoT Lab of the Future: Syniverse Taps Pepper to Help

When the built and virtual, physical and digital worlds come together, the level of complexity rises – a lesson those passionate about and actively working in the IoT and Industrial IoT worlds have learned the hard way. Located at Syniverse’s global headquarters in Tampa, Florida, the Innovation Lab is launching with a variety of demonstrations. Humans entering the facility will be met by Pepper®, the humanoid robot designed by SoftBank Robotics, which will greet visitors to kick off their tours. Syniverse’s team has joined together the big buzz categories of IoT, 5G, blockchain and artificial intelligence and for good reason: that blended concoction has the potential to make the connected world not only possible, but faster, smarter and more secure when they are applied together. “Syniverse is committed to leading the industry into a new age of innovation, driven by technologies like IoT and 5G that will create new business value,” said Dean Douglas, President and CEO, Syniverse. “To seize these new opportunities, the Syniverse Innovation Lab is a first-of-its-kind development and testing center where we can collaborate with our customers, partners and other industry players to develop, explore and make the most of the latest innovations.”
