Srini Kalapala, SVP of technology and product development at Verizon said: “We're leveraging our network's unique strengths including private networks and Verizon’s global industry leadership in private mobile edge compute (MEC), combined with Nvidia’s AI compute capabilities to enable real-time AI applications that require security, ultra-low latency, and high bandwidth.
