When asked what’s stopping competitors from forming similar deals with AWS Wavelength, Koeppe said Verizon has an advantage because it has its own fiber backhaul and its backbone network. “Our distributed architecture is an enabler for those locations,” he said. “We own and operate it. They are in the network.”That entire package —the wireless network, the fiber backhaul and the backbone — Koeppe said is a big differentiator and one that developers appreciate because it means that they can quickly deploy their low latency applications without having to “re-architect” their code for the edge network.When questioned about how these edge computing zones will impact Verizon’s revenue, Koeppe said that the company believes the strong technical partnership with AWS and other partners such as IBM, will create value to both companies because it will allow them to create solutions for enterprises and consumers.Koeppe also said one of Verizon’s key advantages is that it is coordinating the expansion of its fiber footprint with its 4G and 5G network buildout so that the majority of its 4G and 5G nodes are served by the company’s own fiber. Verizon has said that it is building thousands of additional 5G nodes to deliver its 5G mmWave service. This coordination between the fiber and the 4G and 5G network build saves Verizon from having to pay for fiber backhaul from other providers, which is what mobile operators without an extensive fiber footprint must do. “We have 60-plus markets in some phase of fiber deployment,” he said. “We targeted dense areas and the hottest markets for 4G and 5G growth. That is the sweet spot for fiber resources.”Koeppe said that if Verizon wins licenses, he believes the company will be able to quickly deploy 5G in the C-band. Although Verizon will be able to work ahead and get permits ready, it will need to deploy new physical infrastructure to its towers, including radios and antennas, before it can actually use that spectrum. -- ???????? | |||
