Edge Cloud Architecture; The Two Models You must Know!

Let’s talk about the edge cloud architecture How you should plan? where to place the controller? and where to place the rest of the functions? These questions are the first ones that pop up when a Telco wants to design its edge network After all, the reason a telco decides for edge computing in addition to […]

Where are edge data centers located?

“Where are edge data centers located ?” This is the first question that any edge computing seeker asks and “what is the latency threshold for each edge data center” is the second that comes to mind Therefore, this blog answers these questions in easy to understand manner. I do see a lot of confusion with the naming […]

Telcos vs Hyperscalers in edge computing

Do Telcos need Hyperscalers?- Edge computing business models

Edge computing is not only about having technology but also a smart business model. This statement is particularly true for telcos.  And the telcos know about it. They know that with the new 5G core, they have an opportunity to deploy a more intelligent and service-oriented network edge which can open new business avenues like […]

Edge Computing Guide

What is Edge Computing and MEC? The ultimate Guide!

Is Edge computing the only hope for service providers? With billions spent on cellular networks, everyone asks about the killer use cases for 5G. The new 5G Core is capable to provide ultra-low latency services opening the network to potential new user cases, but it can not solve on issue-The distance and latency. However, this […]

5G Latency- You wished you knew it before!

So you want to know about 5G latency? And you know that the minimum latency needed for 5G is 1 ms or less. What if I tell you that you may be completely misunderstanding how this latency works in “5G” For example, tell me the following. Is the latency from the cellphone to the core? […]

MEC in NFV : How does MEC fit in NFV architecture?

After understanding MEC architecture in my last blog, it is logical to to see the action of MEC in NFV architecture ! However, here is a question, why you need a separate MEC architecture ? Why not re-use NFV architecture. When NFV can run itself any application, isn’t MEC one of the applications? I got […]

Beginners Guide to MEC Architecture (Multi-access Edge Computing)

Welcome to the guide to MEC Architecture ! MEC or Multi-access Edge computing will draw the next wave of investments by Mobile operators who want to take advantage of low latency services that 5G promises. Which means running services closer to the consumers ( that is close to radio sites). This opens a new range […]
