Large-scale live video analytics over 5G multi-hop camera networks

Researchers at Microsoft Research and Princeton University have collaboratively built the world’s first 5G- based multi-hop camera network. The cameras and edge servers are fitted with WiGig radios to create a fully interconnected mm-wave network. The cameras stream high-resolution videos to edge servers for real-time analysis. Cameras that are close to the edge servers communicate directly with them. Farther-away cameras pass their streams to other relay cameras, which in turn forward them to the edge server. In this way the system overcomes the inherent line-of-sight and range limitations of mmWave communications while taking full use of the high capacity they offer.
