We don’t often cover telecom technology startups, but it’s periodically worth checking in to see what’s happening in that space. We can get a good indication from the latest cohort to emerge from an accelerator associated with South Korea’s largest wireless carrier,
SK Telecom
.
This group of startups will join the
Telecom Infra Project
accelerator in South Korea, which is part of a global program of telecoms specialist centers, and run in partnership with SK Telecom.
The cohort includes a ship berthing monitoring system; an app that turns a group of mobile phones into a TV studio; an AI-powered indoor positioning system which creates interactive maps; a vision system for delivery robots; and one which allows remote audiences to experience live events ‘together’ via a digital stadium.
The selected start-ups include:
Dabeeo
: Dabeeo’s AI-powered indoor positioning system which uses vision data produced through smartphone cameras to create interactive maps, used for gaming, marketing and logistics. Crunchbase
Neubility
: Neubility develops vision-based localization and path planning technologies for last-mile delivery robots. Crunchbase
