Governance

ENCQOR “5G” was a transformational $400-million partnership that brings together five global digital technology leaders (Ericsson, Ciena Canada Inc., Thales Canada Inc., IBM Canada, and CGI) and mobilization partners Prompt, Innovation ENCQOR, and Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI) to build the next generation of digital infrastructure.

ENCQOR “5G” brings together large companies, SMEs, and academia, to contribute to the advancement of research, innovation and demonstration of applications using a pre-commercial 5G testbed.

This partnership is made possible in part by funding from the Canadian government and the provincial governments of Québec and Ontario.
