AT&T’s software-defined and virtualized 5G core now is capable of delivering Microsoft Azure services, and AT&T is making the capabilities available for a limited set of select customers in Dallas. Next year, Los Angeles and Atlanta are targeted for select customer availability.
The move is part of AT&T’s pursuit of edge computing opportunities. Through AT&T Foundry, AT&T and Microsoft are exploring proofs-of-concept including augmented and virtual reality scenarios and drones.
For example, both companies are working with Israeli startup Vorpal, helping its VigilAir product track drones in commercial zones, airports, and other areas with near-instant positioning.
The companies also recently demonstrated the use of Microsoft HoloLens to provide 3D schematic overlays for technicians making repairs to airplanes and other industrial equipment.
