User experienced data rate = 100Mbps DL/50Mbps UL

User plane latency = 5–10ms

Control plane latency = 10–20ms

Connection density =

1,000,000 devices/km2

What is a Wavelength Zone

Same AWS-designed

infrastructure as in

AWS data centers

Hosted in a site within a

CSP partner network

Integrated into the

CSP 5G Network

Managed and

monitored from an

AWS region

What is unique about AWS Wavelength Zones

Single pane of

management,

across zones and

AWS regions

Same pace of

innovation as in

the AWS regions

Same

operational

consistency

(upgrades, patches,

versions)

Wavelength Zone to
