The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) has introduced the Metaverse-Ready Networks (MRN) Project Group, a new group designed to accelerate network readiness to support metaverse experiences by supporting the development of new network solutions and architectures. Initial co-chairs for the group include Meta Platforms, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Telefónica and Sparkle.
“The metaverse is the next chapter of the internet,” commented Rashan Jibowu, product manager at Meta Platforms. “In the early stages of its development, it’s critical that we work together as an industry to determine what it means for networks to be “metaverse-ready” and what we need to do collectively to get there.”
