Verizon on AWS
Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) is the largest mobile carrier in the US and a leading telecom company. In 2018, Verizon selected Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its preferred public cloud provider with plans to migrate over 1,000 business-critical applications and database backend systems to AWS. Pioneering 5G wireless technology, Verizon was the first company to offer a commercial 5G mobile network. Now, developers can create and deploy low-latency applications on Verizon’s 5G Edge platform using AWS Wavelength for mobile edge computing infrastructure. For its customers who want a highly secure, dedicated edge compute infrastructure on premises, Verizon offers private mobile edge computing using AWS Outposts. Building on AWS, Verizon innovates for its customers so they can support hybrid cloud architectures with applications such as autonomous mobile robots and hazard monitoring.

Verizon Accelerates Launch of 5G Network Capability Using AWS
Lynn Cox, senior vice president and network chief information officer (CIO) at Verizon explains how leveraging AWS to support its 5G network rollout helped the company maximize its decision-making velocity and take advantage of the large-scale compute capabilities of the cloud.
If we had done it the old way, which was with in-house servers, the cost to do it would have been astronomical. That's where we turned to AWS to maximize the speed with which we could make decisions and run these scenarios to come up with the best plan for our 5G network."
