Moving AWS compute and storage services to the edge of Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network eliminates latency for developers.

By deploying its 5G SA core on the public cloud, DISH Wireless continues its trend to disrupt the wireless industry by carving its own path.

AWS is allowing a platform for DISH Wireless, its vendors, and consumers to gain more flexibility and control in terms of their 5G solutions and experience.

The 5G testbed will help modernize the warehouse operations of the Marine Corps Logistics Command.

The goal of the collaboration is to “reinvent the way IoT connectivity services are delivered,” as Telefónica put things. The idea is to combine the usage of cloud technology with cellular connectivity which will find the closest AWS region to deliver Telefónica subscribers a “local shortcut” when accessing the Internet.

In addition to Verizon and Deloitte, notable software company SAP is bringing its customer software suite to the MEC platform.

The company continues to push into the wireless world as it seeks ways to push agriculture further through technology, but with a focus on wireless communication.

Verizon will be expanding its 5G MEC with AWS throughout many additional cities this year with the company expecting to see real revenues pour in no earlier than 2022. The partnership seen between Verizon and AWS is different from other partnerships seen by Verizon in that it is focusing on creating wide zone area MEC zones.
