MONTREAL – Bell Canada announced this week it has signed a deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) “to modernize the digital experience for Bell customers and support 5G innovation across Canada.”
The Canadian telecom will “use the breadth and depth of AWS technologies to create and scale new consumer and business applications faster, as well as enhance how its voice, wireless, television and internet subscribers engage with Bell services and content such as streaming video,” reads the press release.
In addition, AWS and Bell are teaming up to bring AWS Wavelength to Canada, “deploying it at the edge of Bell’s 5G network to allow developers to build ultra-low-latency applications for mobile devices and users. With this rollout, Bell will become the first Canadian communications company to offer AWS-powered multi-access edge computing (MEC) to business and government users,” explains the release.
“With this first in Canada partnership to deploy AWS Wavelength at the network edge, where 5G’s high capacity, unprecedented speed and ultra-low latency are crucial for next-generation applications, Bell and AWS are opening up all-new opportunities for developers to enhance our customers’ digital experiences,” said Mirko Bibic, president and CEO of Bell Canada in the press release.
