Faster Symmetrical Bandwidth and Lower Latency are Needed for the Metaverse, Says Meta

The metaverse offers opportunities for service providers but will require network advances, according to Meta, formerly Facebook. The company said the metaverse “calls for vast enhancements in capacity and fundamental shifts in how networks are architected and deployed, as well as industry-wide collaboration – from tech companies to mobile operators, service providers, policymakers, and more.” Meta sees three key requirements for the networks required to support the metaverse, including:

• Significant advances in network latency, symmetrical bandwidth, and overall network speeds
• Global stakeholder partnerships
• A foundation of openness and interoperability that is accessible to as many people as possible
