(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia (TIM) has continued its longstanding smart city technology collaboration with Turin city council by switching on what the operator describes as Europe's first 5G 'Edge Cloud' live network with connected drones. The network is designed to guarantee very high bandwidth and low latency by allowing an exceptionally large amount of data to be aggregated and processed closer to end consumers with a view to enabling greater agility and flexibility in the configuration of ever-more advanced services and applications, said TIM.
