Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

KWILT INC.

$50,000.00

MVP 5G Storage

FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-14

Summary
Kwilt wishes to demonstrate a system that 5G will reduce latency and increase bandwidth and speed of transferring user generated content such as photos and videos on smartphones and digital cameras in the field to and from a remote Kwilt enabled 5G device and attached storage. Kwilt calls this 5G storage. 4K video and hi resolution photo content makes the economics of commercial cloud storage very expensive and 4G does not provide adequate performance for transferring content. With 5G, Kwilt solves both these problems and provides a true alternative to commercial cloud storage.

Description
Kwilt wishes to demonstrate a system that 5G will reduce latency and increase bandwidth and speed of transferring user generated content such as photos and videos on smartphones and digital cameras in the field to and from a remote Kwilt enabled 5G device and attached storage. Kwilt calls this 5G storage. 4K video and hi resolution photo content makes the economics of commercial cloud storage very expensive and 4G does not provide adequate performance for transferring content. With 5G, Kwilt solves both these problems and provides a true alternative to commercial cloud storage.
Description (French)
Kwilt souhaite faire la démonstration d'un système qui permettra à la 5G de réduire la latence et d'augmenter la bande passante et la vitesse de transfert des contenus générés par l'utilisateur, tels que les photos et les vidéos sur les smartphones et les appareils photo numériques, vers et depuis un appareil 5G compatible à Kwilt et le stockage qui y est joint. Kwilt appelle ce système le stockage 5G. Le contenu vidéo et de photos haute résolution en 4K rend l'économie du stockage commercial dans le nuage très coûteuse et la 4G ne fournit pas de performances adéquates pour le transfert de contenu. Avec la 5G, Kwilt résout ces deux problèmes et offre une véritable solution de rechange au stockage commercial dans le nuage.
