How 5G and Edge Compute Will Enable Pervasive AR Experiences
summary
Deutsche Telekom places edge compute at 5G base stations and regional data centers to push AR off-device: current tests hit ~30 ms roundtrip latency in Germany with a target near 5 ms, while 5G radio aims for ~1 ms. Millimeter-wave links need antennas every ~150–200 m (doubling site count) to deliver line‑of‑sight peak speeds (tens of Gbps) and sub‑meter positioning. Demonstrated use cases: network‑validated GPS to prevent location fraud, speech and volumetric rendering offload, and a path toward a tactile internet for real‑time remote control.
