Case Study: Verizon achieves faster 5G edge connectivity with MongoDB

Verizon boosts edge data throughput by 47% with MongoDB

Verizon, a major US telecom company, sought to unlock the full potential of its 5G network by moving data processing to the network edge. The challenge was eliminating infrastructure bottlenecks that prevented the low latency required for next-generation applications, even with 5G's faster speeds. To accomplish this, Verizon needed a robust and adaptable database platform from a vendor like MongoDB that could operate seamlessly at the edge.

The solution implemented with MongoDB used its Atlas platform and Realm with Atlas Device Sync. This created a reference architecture deployed across 19 AWS Wavelength zones, enabling data to follow the user for minimal latency and providing seamless synchronization between devices, the cloud, and the network edge. The results included a measured 47% improvement in data throughput, reduced networking costs, and maximized availability. This partnership enables a next-generation mobile experience for use cases like real-time American Sign Language translation and IoT fleet analytics.
