Verizon Launches Private Mobile Edge Computing for Enterprise with AWS Outposts
October 18 2021 - 8:00AM
Verizon’s private mobile edge compute solution with AWS Outposts is
available for enterprise customers in the U.S. Announced earlier
this year, Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Outposts is a cloud computing
platform that brings compute and storage services to the edge of
the network on the customer premises. It enables the massive
bandwidth and low latency needed to support real-time enterprise
applications like intelligent logistics, factory automation and
robotics. With Verizon’s On Site 5G and private edge platform,
enterprises also gain operational efficiencies, higher levels of
security and reliability, and improved productivity.
“By bringing compute and storage services to the edge of the
network on the customer premises, we’re providing enterprises with
the low lag and high bandwidth needed to process information in
near real time so they can gain actionable data-driven insights and
optimize their operations,” said Tami Erwin, Verizon Business CEO.
“Through our partnership with AWS, we are helping customers unlock
the true potential of 5G and edge computing which together will
enable innovative applications involving computer vision, augmented
and virtual reality, and machine learning. We are just scraping the
surface of the new experiences that will be enabled by having 5G
and edge compute on site.”
On Site 5G and 5G Edge with AWS Outposts gives manufacturers the
near real-time responsiveness that enables applications like
predictive maintenance and robotics for improved productivity and
quality. Corning Incorporated, a leading materials science and
advanced manufacturing innovator, is using Verizon 5G Edge with AWS
Outposts and On Site 5G to enhance innovation at one of the world’s
largest fiber-optic cable plants. Corning and Verizon are currently
experimenting with high-speed, high-volume data collection on the
factory floor, quality assurance, and on-premises inference using
machine learning.
“At Corning, we believe 5G will revolutionize the way people and
companies interact with technology, and we’re excited to advance
these developments in our own plant, where we manufacture the
optical cable needed to support the networks,” said Michael A.
Bell, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Optical
Communications. “Leveraging Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Outposts, we
can improve safety, precision and efficiency as we explore the
potential of 5G and private mobile edge computing.”
Enterprises in many industries can benefit from having a
completely dedicated private network and edge compute
infrastructure on premises. On Site 5G and 5G Edge with AWS
Outposts can enable the ability to connect and manage a broad range
of devices at scale and speed while also providing highly secure,
near real-time connectivity. This will allow companies to bring new
services to market faster than before, customize customer
experiences and unlock greater value from data, while meeting
low-latency and data residency requirements.
Verizon’s work with AWS on edge computing began in August 2020
with the launch of Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength, a public
edge compute platform that embeds AWS compute and storage services
within Verizon’s public wireless networks. Together, these provide
mobile edge computing infrastructure for customers to develop,
deploy, and scale ultra-low-latency applications. There are
currently 13 Wavelength Zones across the US, with more to come this
year.
