AWS rolls out its Wavelength edge computing service in South Korea SHARE Amazon Web Services Inc.’s Wavelength edge computing service today launched in South Korea on SK Telecom Co. Ltd.’s 5G network, its first deployment in Asia. Wavelength, first rolled out in August, is designed to give latency-sensitive applications a speed boost by placing them physically closer to the data they process. The service allows developers to deploy their applications to AWS Wavelength Zones. Those are infrastructure deployments that embed AWS compute and storage services within the telecommunication providers’ data centers at the edge of the 5G network, so that application traffic only needs to travel from the device to a cell tower to an AWS Wavelength Zone running in a metro aggregation site.
