ENCQOR 5G

ENCQOR 5G (Evolution of Networked Services through a Corridor in Québec and Ontario for Research and Innovation) is a transformational Canada-Québec-Ontario partnership focused on research and innovation in the field of 5G disruptive technologies, on adoption initiatives and system uses.

ENCQOR establishes the first Canadian pre-commercial corridor of 5G digital infrastructure — the key to making the digital economy a reality.

ENCQOR 5G has four distinct streams focused on supporting small-to-medium sized enterprises across Ontario and Québec, assisting in the pre-development of research, collaboration and vital testing of 5G technologies.

Stream – Open for Applications

iPaaS Network Access

Ontario based companies or academics who are not seeking funding support and wish to access the iPaaS network must complete and submit the online iPaaS Access Request form, which includes a description of the applicant organization, technical needs and the proposed project.

Successful applicants will be notified and invited to complete the iPaaS access agreement before being onboarded to the iPaaS network. Applicants will be required to complete a short outcomes survey at the end of their project.
