Pioneering 5G tech from New Zealand was recently unveiled in Auckland which experts say could revolutionise a range of industries. Four businesses, which won a share of Spark's 5G Starter Fund last year, have spent six months developing prototypes and demonstrated a range of innovative technologies set to redefine eyecare, robotics, and gaming at Spark's Auckland head office. CEO Adam Podmore, says 5G technology and the Spark 5G Starter Fund has had a "massive influence" on the company's suite of software-based vision screening and acuity tests. Championing New Zealand innovationSpark's technology director, Mark Beder says that the starter fund has uncovered some of New Zealand's most innovative 5G pioneers. Spark hopes the 5G Starter Fund will inspire other purposeful disruptors, innovators and forward-thinking companies to take advantage of its 5G technology.
