Engineering students from Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) learned more from Smart New Technology Explorers during their educational tour at the PLDT and Smart Technolab in Makati City, strengthening the partnership between the organizations under the Smart Wireless Engineering Education Program (SWEEP).
PLDT and Smart’s Technolab serves as a facility for the exploration and testing of new and upcoming network technologies and solutions, such as 6G, Passive Optical Network (PON) next generation technologies, and cloudification technologies, along with other future innovations like fully autonomous networks and next-generation fixed and wireless communication systems, all designed to enhance connectivity, efficiency, and overall customer experience.
Highlighting the value of industry-academe linkage to the career of tertiary students and industry experts, SWEEP is also aligned with the PLDT Group’s initiatives to promote STEM education in the country, and support the Group’s much broader program to achieve UNSDG No. 4: Quality Education.
