The speed and reliability of 5G networks and edge computing remove many of the bottlenecks between end-user devices and real-time video applications. Continuous connectivity benefits consumers and enterprises with always-on access to interactive, autonomous, and decision-making insights. To minimize the response time of video streaming, operators and providers will require network optimization to deliver low-latency applications with highest-quality experiences.

This partnership brings together the real-time Quality of Service (QoS) optimizations of streaming video over cellular networks and real-time computer vision insights from custom-built solutions at the edge. Together, they will empower CSPs to leverage the latest technology for enhancing industry-specific business models with centralized, repeatable solutions to better address evolving challenges, rising consumer expectations, and increasing competitive pressure.

“We’re excited to align with Ericsson’s vision and deliver breakthrough computer vision innovation via Ericsson ONE,” said Carlos Anchia, Plainsight’s Co-Founder and CEO. “By optimizing video streams over 5G-enabled networks for faster, more resilient enterprise vision AI solutions, we will empower Ericsson customers with computer vision to automate everyday processes and solve industry challenges across organizations to transform operations and create new revenue opportunities.”
