Webinar: Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC in 5G) (28th April)
Recorded: 28th April 2022
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has capitalised on Cloud Computing to revolutionize the way Communications Services are deployed and used, using virtualized IT infrastructure, to generate major improvements in flexibility and availability, offering opportunities to reduce the time to deploy new services and realise cost savings.
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC; formerly Mobile Edge Computing) extends the NFV concept to deploy the virtualization resources at the network edge rather than in the core/public network – near to the users, thus enabling a range of additional benefits in terms of application performance, support for users, access to network information, data collection and content distribution. MEC thus provides a significant opportunity to offer hosting for a range of novel applications, including those deployed by third parties, but it introduces new challenges in terms of the capabilities needed, and need to deploy applications onto the right edge systems for these benefits to be realised.
This webinar explores these topics and presents an overview of the ETSI standardised architecture for MEC.
