AWS Wavelength - Ultra-Low Latency at the 5G Edge

What is AWS Wavelength?

AWS Wavelength extends AWS infrastructure to the edge of 5G networks. Compute and storage resources are deployed directly in telecommunications providers’ data centers, reducing latency for mobile applications to single-digit milliseconds.

Traffic between end devices and Wavelength Zones never leaves the 5G network. This eliminates the additional latency caused by transport over the public internet.

Core Features

• 5G Edge Compute: EC2 instances directly in the 5G network
• Single-Digit Millisecond Latency: Minimal delay for mobile applications
• VPC Integration: Seamless connection to the parent AWS region
• Standard AWS APIs: Familiar tools and APIs for deployment
• Multi-Carrier Support: Available with multiple telecommunications providers

Typical Use Cases

Real-Time Gaming: Cloud gaming with minimal latency for mobile players. Game logic runs at the 5G edge, rendering results are streamed to devices without noticeable delay.

Industrial IoT Control: Real-time control of machines and robots over 5G networks. Low latency enables time-critical control loops directly at the site.

AR/VR Applications: Augmented and virtual reality applications that perform complex calculations at the edge and deliver results to devices without delay.

Benefits

• Single-digit millisecond latency for 5G devices
• No traffic over the public internet
• Familiar AWS tools and APIs
• Scalable edge infrastructure without own hardware
