Important numbers to consider as Physical AI scales:
For teleoperation and cloud coordinated systems, latency must stay below 100ms, with sub 20ms as the ideal. Yet, in real world 5G networks, tail latency spikes above 270ms are common during congestion or tower handovers.
Jitter is even more damaging. When latency fluctuates between 20ms and 300ms, control systems cannot stabilize, leading to phantom braking, oscillation, and higher error rates.
Then there is the handover problem.
As drones, autonomous vehicles, and robots move, they constantly switch between cell towers. These transitions are highly unstable. Ping pong handovers can drive latency spikes up to 85 percent. At speed, even a 500ms delay can translate into positional errors of tens of feet, turning routine operation into a collision risk.
This is not an edge case. It is a structural limitation of centralized networks.
Roam offers a different path.
By building a decentralized connectivity layer powered by everyday users, Roam turns the network into a distributed, real time data fabric. Instead of relying on fragile tower transitions, connectivity becomes continuous, adaptive, and strengthened through global participation.
As machines take on more responsibility in the real world, network reliability becomes mission critical. Roam ensures the signal keeps up.
