Verizon and Unity partner to enable 5G and Mobile Edge Compute gaming and enterprise applications
19 Gennaio 2021 - 1:00PM
Verizon and Unity are partnering to enable new digital experiences
ranging from entertainment applications to enterprise toolkits
using 5G, mobile edge compute (MEC) and real-time 3D technology. By
bringing together 5G Edge MEC services and the unprecedented
performance of Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network with Unity’s
world-leading platform for creating and operating real-time 3D
content, the companies plan to develop offerings for both
enterprise clients and entertainment and game developers.
The world is moving toward a real-time economy
where consumers and enterprises demand computing and content at the
speed of thought. Combining Verizon’s 5G and MEC technology with
Unity’s real-time 3D development platform can enable a variety of
high performance 3D applications without the need for expensive
hardware. 5G and MEC are game-changers for rendering rich 3D
environments in real time for industries like gaming, retail and
sports that demand instantaneous content for consumers. The
companies will also take advantage of the faster speeds, higher
bandwidth and ultra low-latency provided by 5G Ultra Wideband and
MEC to enable interactive 3D applications for enterprises.
“We are entering an era of technology-led
disruption where 5G and MEC will not only transform the full
enterprise lifecycle, it will change the way consumers experience
gaming and entertainment,” said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon
Business. “Every business is accelerating the shift to digital for
their employees, supply chain or end-customer experience. So
whether you’re an enterprise reimaging how you do business using
predictive real time insights, computer vision, machine learning
and artificial intelligence, or a mobile gamer who simply wants to
download the hottest new game in seconds and enjoy data intensive,
multiplayer games conventionally reserved for consoles, the future
is happening right now.”
“We know the world is demanding high-speed, AAA
content, whether it’s an educational augmented reality application
or a robot running a simulation of a digital twin,” said Ryan
Peterson, VP, Solutions, at Unity. “5G is the key piece for
us to facilitate these real-time 3D experiences broadly and to
better meet the demands of the real-time economy.”
This collaboration is part of Verizon Business’s
broader strategy to align with enterprises, startups, universities
and government to explore how 5G and MEC can disrupt and transform
nearly every industry. Learn more information about Verizon 5G Edge
