Verizon and AWS Expand Locations: Easy Aerial Tests Advantages for Drones and Mobile Edge Computing
by DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian M. Crosby
Verizon and AWS are expanding their mobile edge computing service, Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength, to Charlotte, Detroit, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. The real-time cloud computing platform brings AWS compute and storage services to the edge of Verizon’s wireless network and minimizes the latency and network hops required to connect from an application hosted on the platform to the end user’s device. Launched in 2020, 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength enables developers and businesses to create and deploy a range of applications including machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), and video and game streaming. Mobile edge computing is available in 17 locations in the U.S. via AWS Wavelength zones.
Fermata Energy, a Verizon Ventures company, and Easy Aerial, a leading provider of drone-in-a-box-based monitoring and inspection solutions, rank among the participants in the 5G Studio, a collaboration between Verizon and Newlab, to develop transformative technology solutions that make use of Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network technology and Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength at Newlab
The low end-to-end latency provided by Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength enabled Easy Aerial to collect and transfer live drone video for near real-time object detection and telemetry data for rapid processing and analysis. 5G and mobile edge computing also allowed for the removal of costly computers from the drone, reportedly saving roughly 10% in drone costs and increasing flight time by approximately 40%.
“Being able to utilize the high bandwidth for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Wavelength provides is a game changer,” said Easy Aerial CTO Ivan Stamatovski. “It shifts the paradigm on what is possible to achieve with airborne sensors by processing data at the edge of the network in near real-time.”
