Amazon.com Inc.’s AWS and Verizon Communications Inc. are opening new 5G server sites in Boston and Silicon Valley Thursday, pitching businesses to use the next-generation network for everything from health care to tracking sports data.
The facilities are the first of 10 this year that will be used for commercial customers -- a key step in popularizing 5G technology, which will eventually be the main wireless network for both business and consumer devices.
