Multi-Access Edge Computing(MEC), which is proposed by ETSI, is a technology which is based on 5G evolution architecture and deeply integrates mobile access network with internet services. MEC can utilize wireless access network to provide services and cloud computing functions for telecom users nearby.
Moreover, MEC can create a telecom-grade service environment with high performance, low latency and high bandwidth with high rapid download of various contents, services and applications in the network, which could enable consumers to enjoy uninterrupted high-quality network experience.
As the key to the success of 5G services such as Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), IPLOOK’ s flexible and efficient MEC solution can provide real-time, high-bandwidth, and high-security services based on specific scenario.
Sprouted from 4G era, edge computing exerts its strengths at the maximum in 5G era. It has even been completely integrated into the 5G network architecture.
Build the Edge Cloud
Realize URLLC scenarios for 5G
IPLOOK’s flexible and efficient MEC offloading solution covering 4G and 5G offloading technologies provides different offloading strategies for different scenarios.
For a closed park or enterprise network, the MEC solution can be used to offload the internal network traffic within a park or an enterprise to achieve local management and operation of the enterprise network, thus meeting the real-time, high-bandwidth, and high-security requirements for mobile office, video monitoring, and on-site data collection inside the enterprise.
IPLOOK MEC products can be smoothly migrated to support 5G networks through software update. This way, flexibility in the deployment architecture allows planning for the introduction of MEC services as the milestone to build the edge cloud, which is key for the success of 5G services such as URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications).
Flexible Deployment
IPLOOK's MEC core network product supports standard LTE interfaces and is interoperable with existing deployed LTE networks. It is also highly cost-effective and in addition to having an enterprise application, can also be embedded in residential femtocells to provide data offload functionality.
IPLOOK's MEC runs on top of the Linux operating system and can be deployed on a standalone COTS server. When running on a COTS server, MEC can operate directly on the server bare metal, can be run in a virtual machine or it can be deployed in a Docker container.
Alternatively, IPLOOK's MEC can be embedded directly into an eNodeB. Deployed in spare processor cores on the eNodeB, Our MEC can implement the same functionality as when it is deployed on a COTS server, but the additional portability and ease of use makes it even more suitable for deployment in smaller enterprises and homes.
