AMCC Test Bed, integrated into the national network of test beds, is a consortium formed by PC I- Creative Science Park Aveiro Region (PCI), NOS Comunicações and NOS Technology (NOS Group) in partnership with the University of Aveiro (UA), Aveiro Media Competence Center (AMCC) and Google, which consists of a set of infrastructures, equipment, services and specialized knowledge available to SMEs and start-ups in the media sector, for the development and testing of new products and services, enabling acceleration of the Go To Market process.
Virtual Reality is a technology that allows users to immerse themselves in a completely simulated digital environment. Augmented Reality is a technology that combines real-world elements with virtual elements in real time. Instead of replacing the real world with a virtual environment, AR adds digital layers to real objects and scenarios that are in the user’s view. Visualization of virtual elements generally occurs through devices such as smartphones, tablets or AR glasses. For example, by pointing a smartphone’s camera at a specific object, it is possible to see additional information, graphics or animations about that object on the screen, overlaying reality with relevant virtual data.
Artificial Intelligence is a computer science discipline that seeks to develop systems and algorithms capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. This technology allows machines to learn, reason, make decisions and act autonomously, based on identified data and patterns. With the ability to process complex information on a large scale, artificial intelligence has applications across industries, from virtual assistants and autonomous cars to medical diagnostics and personalizing online experiences.
Big Data is a concept related to the immense volume of data that is generated and collected daily from various sources, such as connected devices, social media, sensors and online transactions. This data is characterized by the so-called 3V’s: Volume (large quantity), Speed (high generation speed) and Variety (diversity of formats). Big Data encompasses techniques, technologies and tools that allow you to store, process and analyze this massive data in order to extract valuable insights, identify patterns and make more informed decisions. This large-scale data analysis has applications in areas such as marketing, science, healthcare, finance and logistics, driving innovation and advancement in diverse sectors of society.
IoT, or Internet of Things, is a network of interconnected physical devices that have sensors, software and communication technology incorporated, allowing the exchange of data and information between them and with external systems via the internet. These devices can range from smart home appliances, wearables, industrial sensors to connected cars.
Blockchain is best known as the underlying technology for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, but its applications go beyond financial transactions. It is used in diverse sectors such as supply chains, healthcare, electronic voting, digital asset management and more. Due to its security, transparency and reliability, blockchain has the potential to revolutionize several aspects of society, offering reliable solutions to trust and interoperability problems.
5G connectivity is the fifth generation of mobile network technology, which offers significantly faster data transmission speeds, lower latency and greater capacity compared to previous generations (3G and 4G).
5G also stands out for its low latency, that is, the time it takes for devices to communicate with the network. This is essential for applications that require real-time responses, such as autonomous cars and industrial control systems.
