Ateme’s 5G Streaming Solution Integrates With AWS Wavelength 5G MEC Infrastructure

Ateme, a global provider of video compression, delivery and streaming solutions, says that its 5G media streaming solution is now integrated into Amazon Web Services’ AWS Wavelength 5G Mobile-Access Edge Computing (MEC) infrastructure. The integration was successfully tested in a Wavelength zone within a tier-one operator’s network.

Ateme said: “This is an industry-leading deployment of a complete 5G streaming and monetization platform including encoding, packaging, CDN and dynamic ad insertion (DAI) in a 5G MEC architecture. It enables service providers to reduce costs by optimizing their network traffic, while leveraging new monetization possibilities such as targeted advertising during live sports events thanks to low-latency DAI. It also enables both service and content providers to deliver high-quality, low-latency immersive and interactive experiences.”

Williams Tovar, Ateme 5G media streaming solutions director, said: “After all the talk about 5G, the reality is even more exciting as it opens up innovative opportunities such as immersive content delivery in venues, and AR and VR content offerings that will be game-changing for service and content providers. AWS has an excellent solution with a global footprint, so we are excited to integrate our media streaming solutions into the AWS Wavelength 5G MEC architecture to create the first complete, low-latency streaming solution at the edge.”

Ateme is a member of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the consortium of standards organizations responsible for developing and maintaining the 5G standards, as well as 5G-Media Action Group (5G-MAG), the industry group in charge of defining and enabling the 5G broadcast ecosystem.
