“Qualcomm Technologies is a pioneer in advancing 5G power to the intelligent edge, and we’re proud to collaborate with them in this critical space,” said Vibha Rustagi, global head of IoT at Cognizant. “By aligning their expertise with Cognizant’s unique industry solutions in manufacturing, automotive, biopharma, retail and others, we will strive to help clients simplify the complexities of the technology, accelerate their digital transformations and stay focused on their business objectives.”
Cognizant is expanding our 5G experience center footprint globally with the Atlanta location being the first of our planned 5G centers in North America. It builds on the success of Cognizant’s 5G center in Bangalore, India. The center is designed to help clients imagine, test and deploy next-generation solutions by pairing private 5G networks and Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) technologies to deliver unique advantages.
The combination of 5G and MEC offers enterprises the ability to create multiple virtual networks with the same physical hardware and support thousands of connected devices generating data insights in real time, with better network security and less congestion – all of which leads to better business outcomes and more seamless end-user experiences
