In early November, RCR Wireless News spoke with Subspace’s CEO and Founder Bayan Towfiq who argued that when it comes to online multiplayer games, 5G and edge computing might not be all they’re cracked up to be.
“[5G] solves the last few hundred yards and makes it a lot better, but the internet is still the internet and it was never built for real-time applications,” he said.
However, according to Brian Lavallée, the senior director of portfolio marketing for Ciena’s 5G, packet, and submarine networking solutions, that isn’t the full story.
