FULL STORY
======================================================================

BT has announced a significant investment into a joint project with Amazon 
Web Services (AWS), aiming to bring 5G and 4G mobile edge computing services 
to UK business customers. 

With AWS cloud expertise and BTs 5G/4G infrastructure, UK businesses can 
expect more secure, faster, high- bandwidth connectivity, on the go, with 
crowd management, healthcare, or security projects, all set to possibly 
benefit greatly from such a solution. 

Whats more, 5G is pivotal for Internet-of Things solutions, such as 
autonomous vehicles, cameras for policing, or industrial robots. AWS 
Wavelength 

This new announcement lines up perfectly with what BTs been doing up until 
now, to boost its current mobile networks and bring 5G 
infrastructure-as-a-service through AWS Wavelength. 

A new AWS Wavelength Zone should soon become operational in Manchester, as 
well, and will service businesses in both public and private sector, in a 
100-kilometer radius. BT Wholesale, which services telecommunications 
operators on the continent, worked with AWS on the service, which is planned 
to cover the entire country in the near future. 

AWS Wavelength is Amazon Web Services 5G edge computing infrastructure 
solution, bringing in AWS compute and storage services to wireless networks. 
That way, businesses get mobile edge computing infrastructure for 
ultra-low-latency applications. Read more

As we continue to build best-in-class 5G infrastructure for the UK, launching 
the AWS Wavelength service for our business and wholesale customers is a 
hugely important step on our journey  bringing the power of the cloud to the 
UKs best network, said Alex Tempest, managing director for BT Wholesale. Its 
set to unlock use cases like IoT cameras to help first responders keep 
communities safe: a real-life example of using tech to connect for good. 

By building cloud edge services into our 5G and 4G EE network, we can 
accelerate innovation across industries, and bring fast, secure data 
processing closer to where our customers need it most. Ultimately, we want to 
give businesses and public sector organizations all the power of edge 
computing, wherever they are. These are the best cloud hosting providers 
right now
