MOBILE EDGE COMPUTING ARCHITECTURES, APPLICATIONS AND CHALLENGES – By Professor Anand Nayyar

Multi-access edge computing (MEC), is an ETSI-defined network architecture concept that enables cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of the cellular network and at the edge of any network. As a promising edge technology, it can be applied to mobile, wireless and wired scenarios, using software and hardware platforms, at the network edge near end users. MEC provides seamless integration of multiple application service providers and vendors towards mobile subscribers, enterprises, and other vertical segments. It is an important component in 5G architecture that supports variety of innovative applications and services where ultra-low latency is required. This webinar will introduce Mobile Edge Computing, its Architectures, Applications in real-time and some current challenges.
