The call was enabled by the speed of 5G combined with the quick response times of MEC, which moves the necessary computing closer to the edge of the network. This ensures a more reliable and consistent hologram by removing delays resulting from multiple hops between different locations and across the internet.\n \n \n Holograms of employees located in three different countries were connected from\n \n Toronto, Canada\n \n , using Bell's 5G network;\n \n New York\n \n in the US using Verizon's 5G network; and from\n \n London, UK\n \n , using Vodafone's 5G network. They were created using MATSUKO's real-time software and just a single camera and were then streamed thanks to spatial computing, an immersive technology which combines virtual and augmented reality. MATSUKO's patented technology uses its presence app on a smartphone coupled with a XR (Extended Reality) headset to stream holograms instantly, creating the feeling that people are in the same room as you.\n \n \n \"Through its active participation in the 5GFF, Bell continues to support the developer community to access 5G MEC technologies and to ensure their solutions take full advantage of Bell's 5G netwo...
