Demands for our advanced software prototyping, user interface design and usability testing / user experience (UX) services have increased. We must also add support for 5G and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The NBCC Centre for Applied Research in Mobile & Ubiquitous Computing will upgrade, renew, and expand our infrastructure to meet these demands. First, we need the latest phones, tablets, and mixed reality devices. Second, we need to renew UX software licenses, including remote testing technology acquired because of COVID-19. Third, we must expand our prototyping capabilities into 5G and IIoT. Finally, we need to upgrade the computing resources we use to develop prototypes. Having the most current mobile devices enables our clients to gain a competitive advantage by leveraging the new functions they introduce. Usability is indispensable to successful innovation. 5G and IIoT offer compelling benefits for companies and are finally practical for us to acquire. New computers will enable more efficient software development. The new infrastructure will also expand the areas in which we develop highly qualified personnel. The new infrastructure will increase our services’ quality, quantity, and overall impact for companies and the innovation ecosystem. We worked with partners to identify current and strategic infrastructure needs concerning. Our partners include Sensory Friendly Solutions, Kognitiv Spark, Greystone Energy Systems, MLT, IGT, La Fleur du Pommier, Mohawk College, UNB, GFSI, and the City of Fredericton. The new infrastructure will help our partners achieve competitive advantages and create unforeseen opportunities for all of New Brunswick’s innovation ecosystem.
