Dell Technologies has opened a new €2m telecoms lab at its campus in Cork.

The tech giant's Open Telecom Ecosystem Lab is the only such facility outside the US. It will act as a testbed for Dell customers to test and deploy telecom products using 5G and 6G technologies. The company hopes the lab will accelerate the development of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 technologies such as automated manufacturing, smart mobility technologies and digital cities. The other lab is located in Round Rock, Texas.
