Inspired by Alex Trebek’s iconic quiz show, we’re presenting this week’s “Up To Speed: Week In Review” with a little game show flair. Pick up your buzzers and check out the clip!
This Monday, we got an inside look into our 5G lab in Washington, DC, which is dedicated to developing tech for first responders and public safety.
On Tuesday, we followed Craig Silliman, who travelled to Chicago to launch Unidos, a digital literacy program for Latino communities, and to Sioux Falls, SD, to announce 5G.
And then on Wednesday, the rundown was sponsored by the letter C, where Andy and Raquel featured cool new tech from Waze adopting the Cookie Monster’s voice and an app that summarizes books to a five-minute read.
Thursday, we went high fashion with a new partnership with Coach, where we introduced stylish phone cases just in time for the holiday season.
