Descrizione
Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) is redefining how services are delivered by bringing
computing power closer to the user - at the network edge. This approach reduces latency,
improves efficiency, and enables new applications across industries.
In this course, you’ll start by answering the question: What is MEC? You’ll explore its
conceptual foundations, the role of ETSI, and the drivers behind this shift, including cost
realignment and the need for ultra-low latency. The course introduces enabling
technologies such as cloud computing, virtualization, NFV/SDN, and 4G/5G, showing how
they combine to make MEC possible.
Next, you’ll examine the MEC architecture, including service-based interfaces and highlevel
requirements for features and services. You’ll dive into real-world use cases, from
video analytics and location-based services to Industry 4.0, AR/VR, and V2X applications.
The course also addresses challenges posed by MEC and how they are being overcome.
Designed for professionals in telecoms, IT, and emerging technology fields, this course
provides a clear, practical introduction to MEC - ideal for anyone seeking to understand
how edge computing enables next-generation services.
