5G rollout is gaining speed worldwide with the promise to significantly reduce latency, increase data rates, enhance network security, and improve quality of service for end users. Delivering on these improvements requires a dramatic transformation of the network architecture with edge computing being substantially leveraged to bring intelligence closer to where the data is generated, and enable flexible implementation of network disaggregation, virtualization and automation technologies. Validated for NGC-Ready, AWS IoT Greengrass and Intel® Select Solution for uCPE, ADLINK’s OTII-compliant edge servers provide a versatile white-box edge computing solution to accelerate deployment of 5G Open RAN, small cells, enterprise private 5G networks, and meet the needs of a wide range of 5G MEC applications.
MEC is an evolution of cloud computing that moves data processing from centralized data centers out to the network edge and closer to application end users, essentially in enabling service providers to deliver on their 5G promises by significantly reducing latency, increasing connection speed, enhancing network security, and improving Quality of Service.
