> Working with our 5G partner Ericsson, Elk will open up completely new products and network services to connect musicians and equipment remotely over the internet in real time.

This seems difficult. What is the 5G latency chain like in practice?

My guess is that they don’t mean audio.

I think they do - 5G seems to have the prospect of some realtime low latency guarantee features (though I don’t think it’s rolled out yet). With this in place and an RT audio device you could build an all in one remote jamming box without having to insist on wired internet or deal with the wifi jitter. Currently the user’s network is often the bane of things like Jamulus that try to do this in software + your internet connection
