5G and edge

It connects devices, and collects and exploits data to unlock efficiency and innovation.

It exploits 5G’s higher speeds and capacity, lower latency, and greater reliability to pave the way for many more innovative use cases, such as robots, automated machines, greater factory automation, augmented and virtual reality – all delivered at scale, cost-effectively, and through a highly flexible network.

And it takes advantage of Edge computing’s ability to transform the way connected objects are designed. Any product or asset can instantly become smart, by bringing cloud applications closer to the device, optimizing service performance and experience.

It uses 5G to create bespoke networks that can meet the different connectivity requirements of consumers and of many different industry sectors.

It enables networks to be upgraded faster and more cost-effectively, with an infrastructure that is highly agile, and with zero-touch orchestration.

It uses Edge infrastructure to optimize networks for CSPs, offering distributed cloud services to enterprise players and third-party application providers.

It puts computing power much closer to where data is generated, so there is almost zero latency in connection and processing.

And it creates opportunities for more immersive and interactive services and experiences.
