AWS + Verizon 5G Edge: Accelerating Transformation for Media & Entertainment

We’re excited that Verizon’s 5G Edge is live with AWS Wavelength in 10 cities across the U.S., and more planned for 2021. Bringing the power of cloud computing right to the network edge is already enabling transformative applications and use cases for Media & Entertainment. But what does it mean for you and how can you prepare your business to take advantage of the exciting benefits of 5G Edge? IP-based distribution of media content is rapidly becoming the standard. But it’s 5G that could truly transform the way content is created, distributed and consumed. In terms of workflows, 5G will have far reaching implications for organizations across the entire M&E landscape. Verizon 5G Edge is bringing us closer to a world where all assets will be created, stored and ultimately delivered in the cloud, providing more efficient production workflows, enabling greater creative freedom, supporting higher volume and quality of content, and lowering operating costs.
