Verizon and Responder Corp. last week unveiled five more companies they intend to usher into the 5G market, constituting the third and final cohort of their 5G First Responder Lab, a startup-accelerator program in Washington, D.C. Recapping the announcement at a three-day public safety event hosted by Verizon and Nokia, a news release said the new cohort will focus on uses for artificial intelligence, including for weapon detection, geo-intelligence, autonomous security and situational awareness. By participating in the accelerator, these companies will have three months of access to the lab, its 5G network and consultants from Verizon and Responder Corp. to help with use case testing and market strategies. Verizon and Responder Corp. will then make the resulting tools available to public safety agencies across the country. Verizon announced this startup accelerator program in November 2018, promising to choose 15 companies -- three cohorts of five companies apiece -- and get them to realize and sell their ideas. The latest cohort will conclude the first year of the program, although statements in the news release suggested the program would continue in 2020.
