What is CrowdCell technology? CrowdCell Technology are microcells of very easy installation and lack of dependency on fixed networks, which allows to extend mobile coverage in new zones. It is the perfect complement for today's mobile networks and applies to current mobile technologies such as 5G.

Next September 21st we will have a training where you can learn all about this new technology and learn how to develop different applications. This activity is part of La Nave’s 3rd #Barbac0d1ng, and it is organized by Vodafone, in collaboration with Lime Microsystems and the global open source initiative Myriad-RF, a foundation for wireless democratization.

By participating in this training, you will get firsthand experience on all the possibilities that these devices can do, such as expanding the coverage of your mobile, receive information from different areas of the city in real time or improve the use of wearables or online videogames.
