Comcast has transitioned its 5G wireless core network to Amazon Web Services (AWS), marking a significant shift from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based solutions. This move aims to enhance the delivery of next-generation 5G services for Xfinity Mobile and Comcast Business Mobile customers across the United States using Comcast's licensed spectrum.

The collaboration leverages AWS's global infrastructure and telecom automation framework, enabling Comcast to offer scalable, secure, and cost-effective services. AWS provides a platform with analytics, telecom-specific features, and continuous integration and deployment capabilities. This setup allows Comcast to innovate, deploy new features, autoscale network capacity, and manage lifecycle operations effectively. The two companies plan to explore further opportunities to enhance customer service, optimize network performance, and automate additional 5G operations.

Tom Nagel, executive vice president of Wireless Strategy at Comcast, stated: "AWS’s extensive cloud infrastructure, together with their understanding of telco network requirements and ability to support production-grade 5G networks, will help us to continue delivering the highest quality service to our wireless customers."

Jan Hofmeyr, vice president of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Edge at AWS added: "Moving Comcast's 5G core to the cloud will enable greater resiliency, faster innovation, and enhanced security leveraging AWS's secure global cloud infrastructure. We’re excited to work with Comcast to power this state-of-the-art 5G network that will give their customers a better wireless experience as well as meet the needs of future applications running in this new environment."
