Identifying colon polyps in real time as a scope moves to scan the inside of a patient’s organ. Tracking a basketball player’s position and speed as he moves through the arena to provide never-before tracked statistics, instantaneously. Those are two of first real-world applications that are making use of both Verizon’s 5G network and mobile edge computing capabilities tied in through AWS Wavelength.
Verizon is bringing its 5G network and MEC to life, partnering with AWS Wavelength to provide pockets of AWS computing on the carrier’s network in Boston and in the San Francisco Bay Area that can be accessed by developers to deploy latency-sensitive applications.
