The Ericsson 5G Laboratory in Carleton University’s ARISE building will enhance the educational experience for students by focusing on student-centred project research and innovation programs. This active R&D 5G Lab is unique as there will be an Ericsson Indoor 5G RDS network inside the building to develop, test and optimize state of the art 3D localization solutions, techniques and algorithms - a first in Canada. No other lab in Canada currently exists where graduate students and researchers have access to a private standalone 5G network.
Additionally, Carleton University and Ericsson have developed a joint training program for researchers and information technology personnel on campus, enabling the effective management of the 5G lab, a first on campus.
The 5G laboratory in the ARISE building will enhance the educational experience for students at Carleton by means of focusing student-centered project research and innovation programs.
Fully operational by July 1, 2022, an official lab opening is being planned for the Fall of 2022. Once up and running, the lab will support both the work of the Chair and designated research projects
The Advanced Research and Innovation in Smart Environments (ARISE) building is a 71,000-square-foot space for partnership and entrepreneurship opportunities at Carleton University. The facility is a new home for applied research in clean technology, health technology and information and communication technology. ARISE brings together professors and students from our five faculties—Science, Engineering and Design, Sprott School of Business, Public Affairs and Arts and Social Sciences — to collaborate on research and training in areas such as 5G wireless, smart cities and data analytics. ARISE is intended to become a living laboratory that will allow students to obtain marketable skills and become entrepreneurs through early-stage commercialization development and facilitating interactions with partners of all sizes.
