Collaborating on standardization;
-
Collaborating on testbeds and research and development projects;
-
Exchanging technology requirements and use cases;
-
Exchanging documents and information solely for discussion purposes;
-
Collaborating in the area of cellular technologies in unlicensed and
shared spectrum;
-
Conducting other activities as determined and mutually agreed bythe
parties in writing.
"Extending cellular-based technology into industrial applications will
help accelerate industrial IoT adoption," said Wael William Diab, Chair
of IIC Liaison Working Group and Senior Director at Huawei (News - Alert). "This
collaboration expands opportunities for IIC members with industry
players focused on cellular technology."
"Operating standalone in unlicensed spectrum, MulteFire technology can
