AWS Wavelength
AWS Wavelength is a service that extends AWS infrastructure and services to the edge of 5G networks.
Description
AWS Wavelength is designed to bring AWS services closer to mobile and connected devices by embedding AWS compute and storage services at the edge of telecom networks. This allows developers to build applications that require ultra-low latency, such as real-time data processing, IoT applications, and immersive experiences. By deploying Wavelength at the telecom provider's edge, applications can leverage the high bandwidth and low latency that 5G provides, ensuring faster response times and improved user experiences. For instance, applications in the automotive industry can process data from vehicles in real-time, enabling autonomous driving features. Additionally, entertainment applications can deliver high-quality streaming experiences with minimal buffering. AWS Wavelength integrates seamlessly with existing AWS services, enabling developers to utilize familiar tools and frameworks while benefiting from the edge computing capabilities that enhance their applications' performance.
