Mobility Mesh Cluster
| The Minister for Information and Communication Technology launched Australia’s first mobile data industry cluster “Mobility Mesh” in Broadmeadows on 6 June 2007.
It received $100,000 seed funding under the Government’s $1 million ICT Linkages Program.
The Mobility Mesh cluster is comprised of MAP Venture Partners, Hume City Council, Ericsson Australia, Intel Corporation, Hyro Limited, La Trobe University, Swinburne University of Technology, M2M Connectivity Pty Ltd and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “New Media” Unit.
These organisations collaborate in a unique testbed environment, boasting the most comprehensive mobile testing equipment in the Asia Pacific region.
The Mobility Mesh cluster has nine communications and Government organisations under the one roof, giving start-up companies the unique opportunity to test new mobile applications across a variety of wireless platforms, such as WiMAX and 4G.
This collaborative approach means Victorian ICT companies are on a fast track to commercial success with their new mobile products, giving our companies a competitive edge.
This cluster builds on the success of the Design Development and Commercialisation Centre launched less than 18 months ago by the Bracks Government.
