AI is a more realistic near-term reason for operators to deploy and market 5G-Advanced than extended reality. Visual AI tools take images from cameras and upload them into the cloud for quick analysis by cloud AI and cross-referencing to map and other data about the world around the user. This requires low latencies, and even more importantly, a consistently fast upload speed to transfer the high-resolution imagery to the cloud.
