“We excel at hands-on innovation and pushing industry
boundaries,” said Jim Brisimitzis, CEO of 5G OI Lab. “KhasmX, our
new skunkworks lab, is dedicated to exploring and validating the
potential of emerging technologies, trialling new business models,
and developing platforms that can reshape industries, ultimately
bridging the chasm between startups and enterprises.”
Launch of KhasmX
KhasmX is designed to support rapid “innovation sandboxing”
across the 5G OI Lab ecosystem. By leveraging a proven
proof-of-concept approach, such as the recent Private 5G Network
collaboration at the Tacoma Tideflats, KhasmX integrates startup
technologies with enterprise platforms from 5G OI Lab ecosystem
partners to deliver innovative solutions that drive value in new
ways.
“Through KhasmX, we are demonstrating how startup innovation can
play a key role in enterprise and industry advancements by
integrating products from our partners and alumni to develop new
platforms and experiment with evolving business models,” said Scott
Waller, Chief Technology Officer of 5G OI Lab.
KEEN & Telco AI Cloud
Two new initiatives, KEEN and Telco AI Cloud, embody the spirit
of the KhasmX announcement. These initiatives aim to address the
growing demand for Private 5G and Edge platforms, as well as to
explore the potential of co-locating AI edge cloud services within
Telco networks.
- KEEN: The KEEN platform is simple to operate and serves
two primary use cases: ad hoc remote connectivity and turn-key
enterprise cellular & edge networks. Being cloud-native, it can
seamlessly scale from one access point to hundreds made possible
through our platform partnerships with Druid Software, Airspan
Networks, and FibroLAN.
- Telco AI Cloud: This consortium, composed of 5G OI Lab
alumni and partners, collaborates to experiment with AI edge cloud
services within Telco networks. The goal is to validate developer
interest and test new business models.
