How 5G Edge is being used to solve customer problems
summary
Verizon pairs AWS Wavelength and Outposts to run public MEC (EC2/Kubernetes at the radio edge) and private MEC (CBRS/licensed private cellular plus Outpost) with a VESA toolset, Terraform templates and HashiCorp integrations. Real deployments include cashierless retail that lifts stadium store revenue +140% and +166% while cutting staff, and HarperDB running on 19 wavelength zones as a distributed DB and custom-function layer, yielding ~250x faster APIs for 33,000 golf carts (60+ API calls each) with 5–20 ms edge responses.
