  • 5G Edge is now live in five cities

  • Last month, we announced the general availability of 5G Edge in our first two cities: the Boston (us-east-1-wl1-bos-wlz-1) and Bay Area (us-west-2-wl1-sfo-wlz-1) metro areas. Today, we are excited to introduce three new cities into the mix: Atlanta (us-east-1-wl1-atl-wlz-1), New York (us-east-1-wl1-nyc-wlz-1) and Washington, DC (us-east-1-wl1-was-wlz-1)!

    From compatibility with our Internet of Things (IoT) platform ThingSpace to common AWS® compute (EC2, ECS, EKS) and storage (EBS) services, there’s so much here that will feel familiar to you. See how teams such as Zixi, CrowdVision and YBVR are putting 5G Edge to use and learn how to get started with your own project today.

    Today, we are happy to announce the launch of our Verizon 5G Edge Developer Blog. In our inaugural  blog post,  Srini Kalapala (VP, Global Technology) takes a look at how 5G actually works to deliver ultra-low latency experiences. Learn how:

    • Both edge computing infrastructure and 5G networks are critical to delivering immersive experiences at the network edge.
    • The carrier gateway, a new AWS resource, enables you to connect your 5G Edge compute resources to our 5G Ultra Wideband Network
    • Verizon ThingSpace provides you the capabilities to monitor and connect your device fleet to your 5G Edge infrastructure

What should I know about 5G Edge today? +

  • In case you haven't had a chance to attend one of the AWS Wavelength Immersion Days to get hands-on experience with edge computing, here’s a breakdown of some of the top questions we’re getting from developers who have attended.

Can I use other devices besides my mobile phone to connect to 5G Edge? +

  • Absolutely. Earlier last month, we announced the launch of the ThingSpace IoT Marketplace, where you can purchase pre-certified VZ modules to connect over our LTE and 5G Ultra Wideband network to your 5G Edge infrastructure.
     

How can I get started? +
Does 5G Edge only support 5G-connected devices? +

  • No, in addition to your 5G Ultra Wideband network devices you can also use your 4G LTE-connected device to take advantage of the proximity afforded by 5G Edge Wavelength Zones.
