The Waterly team from Poland won this year’s Gold Medal Award at the Mobileheroes Global competition and is dedicated to improving water quality monitoring through clean technology. Their solar-powered IoT smart buoy features a plug-and-play design that allows quick deployment in various water environments without the need for technical expertise. The device continuously monitors key water quality indicators such as dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, and temperature. With AI-driven real-time analysis and alerts, it helps detect anomalies early, prevent pollution, and provide an efficient, sustainable solution for protecting aquatic ecosystems.

Taiwan’s FiduciaEdge received the Merit Award in this year’s Mobileheroes Global competition. The team focuses on highly trusted cybersecurity technologies for edge computing and introduced an innovative TSO system to address the high costs enterprises face when building 5G private networks. The solution enables private and public network traffic to safely share the same 5G O-RAN infrastructure while maintaining strict information isolation, significantly reducing deployment and maintenance expenses.

The Angel Eye team from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan received this year’s Judges’ Award at the Mobileheroes Global competition. Guided by their professors, the team showcased forward-looking B5G/6G communication applications through their innovative system, “Angel Eyes.” The system adopts Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technology, enabling base stations to perform radar-like sensing while transmitting signals, overcoming the limitations of traditional camera-based traffic monitoring in blind spots or adverse weather. Without relying on cameras, Angel Eye uses communication signals to detect pedestrian and vehicle movements in real time, achieving centimeter-level positioning accuracy and offering a novel solution for smart transportation and road safety.
