Verizon announced this week a collaboration with Bloomberg Media, live-streaming video platform maker Zixi and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The companies are working together, said Verizon, to test how 5G and mobile edge computing (MEC) can be used to deliver live 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) video content.
Verizon is pitching a streamlined 4K UHD distribution workflow for content providers which doesn’t rely on satellites. The service uses Verizon and AWS’s edge computing to host Zixi’s Software-Defined Video Platform (SDVP) and ZEN Master control plane.
