A wireless communication network that uses radio towers to provide mobile connectivity to devices like phones and tablets. Like an invisible web of radio signals that blanket cities and highways, allowing devices to communicate anywhere within range. Modern 4G and 5G networks provide the high-speed connectivity that powers mobile apps and IoT devices, with edge computing bringing computation closer to users.
A delivery company uses 5G cellular networks and AWS Wavelength edge computing to track delivery trucks in real-time. Drivers get instant GPS updates and customers receive live delivery notifications because the low latency of 5G combined with edge computing means less delay compared to routing everything through distant data centers.
