AWS Wavelength

AWS Wavelength enables customers to use AWS services at the edge of the 5G network. End-users can reach application servers running in Wavelength Zone, which are AWS infrastructures within the telecommunications service provider's data centers at the edge of the 5G networks. The end-user requests are served from the Wavelength Zone with minimal the latency compared to requests leaving the service provider's network to reach the application at the customer's on-premises network or AWS regions. Wavelength delivers a consistent developer experience across multiple 5G networks around the world, allowing you to build the next generation of ultra-low latency applications using familiar AWS services, APIs, and tools. Customers can extend the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to one or more Wavelength Zones.

Customers can connect using a dedicated high bandwidth connection or via Transit or Peering point.
