Huawei is providing Australia's James Cook University with the latest IoT technology as well as direct funding to create a Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT lab) to research and develop applications, smart devices and sensor networks.

Research carried out at the IoT lab will feed into Huawei’s global IoT development. Part of the research will focus on IoT for a smart reef, smart healthcare and smart agriculture.

Huawei will also offer JCU IoT students the opportunity to travel to Huawei’s global headquarters in China and its Australian headquarters in Sydney as part of its 'Seeds for the future' programme.

The Huawei / James Cook University IoT lab has been officially opened on 20 February. Eighty students of JCU’s IoT specific engineering programme will have the opportunity to train and learn on live IoT technology in real time.
