Ranplan Wireless is collaborating with the University of Warwick on a project funded by Innovate UK’s Geospatial Commission to identify wireless blackspots to support the rollout of 5G. The COCKPIT-5G project will use crowd blackspot intelligence sourcing and social media techniques along with real-time natural language processing to curate consumer data and build up an accurate connectivity map of the UK. 

  The company that developed the 5G combined in-building and outdoor wireless network planning tool for urban environments, Ranplan Wireless, has received £300K funding over a two-year period from Innovate UK to develop a data analytics platform that can be used to predict and manage congestion in smart cities.
