Cisco and HTX to trial 5G and AI for homeland security

Cisco and Singapore’s Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to pilot 5G and AI technologies to enhance Singapore’s homeland security.

They will partner on projects to empower the Home Team to deal with evolving threats to public safety in Singapore.

Cisco’s 5G-as-a-Service solution will be used to develop and trial different 5G proofs-of-concept to improve public safety and security.

Both parties will also leverage AI to build a customised AI security and network operations platform that will be hosted on-premise alongside HTX’s domain data. This will enable HTX to harness the power of generative AI and identify and address advanced cyber threats with greater effectiveness.
