Use cases for AWS Wavelength

Using AWS Wavelength Zones can help you accomplish a variety of goals. This section lists a few to give you an idea of the possibilities.

Connected vehicles

Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) is an increasingly important platform for enabling functionality such as intelligent driving, real-time HD maps, and increased road safety. Low latency access to the compute infrastructure that's needed to run data processing and analytics on AWS Wavelength enables real-time monitoring of data from sensors on the vehicle. This allows for secure connectivity, in-car telematics, and autonomous driving.

Media and entertainment

Wavelength provides the ultra-low latency needed to live stream high-resolution video and high-fidelity audio, and to embed interactive experiences into live video streams. Real-time video analytics provide the ability to generate real-time statistics that enhance the live event experience.

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)

By accessing compute resources on AWS Wavelength, AR/VR applications can reduce the Motion to Photon (MTP) latencies to the benchmark that is needed to offer a realistic customer experience. When you use Wavelength, you can offer AR/VR in locations where it is not possible to run local system servers.

Smart factories

Industrial automation applications use ML inference at the edge to analyze images and videos to detect quality issues on fast moving assembly lines and to trigger actions that address the issues. With Wavelength, these applications can be deployed without having to use expensive, GPU-based servers on the factory floor.

Real-time gaming

Real-time game streaming depends on low latency to preserve the user experience. With Wavelength, you can stream the most demanding games from Wavelength Zones so that they are available on end devices that have limited processing power.

Healthcare

AI/ML driven video analytics and image matching solutions help doctors speed up the diagnosis of observed conditions, such as recognizing polyps. The image or video streams from medical devices are processed in a Wavelength Zone and the response is returned to the surgeon's medical device.
