MWC, BARCELONA: Telefónica has integrated its network application programmable interfaces (APIs) with a pilot AWS Wavelength Zone at a Telefónica multi-access edge (MEC) server center in Madrid. They have worked with local service provider Cinfo to run an AI-optimized live video stream from a volleyball tournament in the city.
The Madrid setup, marrying local edge applications and open network APIs, is intended to show how developers can more easily combine services from both providers. Cinfo’s solution, a smart video production service called TiiVii, was used to broadcast live video from a Madrid Volleyball Federation event to the AWS edge server over Telefónica’s 5G network. The companies said the setup reduced the deployment time to minutes.
