AT&T on Thursday announced the officially opening of AT&T 5G Innovation Studio with sponsors Ericsson and Nokia.
The studio, located in Plano, Texas, brings together the power of AT&T’s business, consumer and network organizations to accelerate the path to market for new 5G-centric product offerings and key initiatives.
AT&T said it will work with customers and industry collaborators to ideate, test and validate new 5G-centric applications across a variety of industries. One of the biggest benefits of 5G will be the reduction of latency, the increase in bandwidth and the overall reliability of the network. The studio will harness these network enhancements to improve consumer and business experiences. This includes technologies such as on-premise edge compute (MEC) and edge compute at the network edge (ANE) that when combined with 5G will bring new experiences to life.
Additionally, the promise of 5G allows for an unprecedented amount of customization, enabling AT&T the opportunity to directly tune the network for very specific needs. Examples might include cloud gaming with a network slice for consumers and our edge strategy to deliver our best performance for the gaming platform.
