Seoul,
SK Telecom, which is
South Korea's top wireless provider, said on Thursday it has partnered with
Amazon Web Services (AWS) to launch the country's first 5G edge cloud service.
The business-targeted service, named SKT 5GX Edge, provides users ultra-low latency for data-intensive services by connecting to
AWS Wavelength Zones installed in SK Telecom's telecommunications offices, making it unnecessary for traffic to go through regional aggregation sites, according to the
carrier.
SK Telecom said it expects SKT 5GX Edge to improve services such as video streaming, games and machine learning, reports Yonhap news agency.
