AWS Wavelength
#133 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · Advanced networking and hybridConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Wavelength places AWS computing right inside mobile companies’ 5G networks. These places are called Wavelength Zones, and each is an extension of an AWS Region. You can create a subnet of your VPC in a Wavelength Zone and run resources such as EC2 there. Traffic from mobile devices then reaches the app inside the mobile network, without going around through the internet. The rest of the app stays connected to familiar services in the Region as before.
