Latency-sensitive applications, such as industrial control, traffic safety, medical services, and immersive entertainment depend on wireless connectivity with guaranteed, consistent network latencies as low as 1 ms. The optimal way to capitalize on the ultra-low latency response times 5G promises is to bring together fifth-generation cellular technology and multi-access edge computing (MEC), critical to enabling real-time services like vehicle automation and augmented reality. It is the key to successfully monetizing 5G-driven services and also driving substantial growth for the edge computing market.
