5G and the edge – making the most of low latency and disaggregated processing
To secure the benefits of 5G and to deliver on the promise of low latency performance, processing at the edge of the network is essential. Already, a number of new stakeholders are jostling for position, seeking to host intensive applications for a wide range of functions. How will this evolve? How will we see edge computing functions delivered to support new 5G applications?
- What does Edge computing and the distributed user plane really mean in the 5G era?
- How will we ensure compute functions are connected to the 5G RAN?
- Who will be the earliest adopters?
- What does this mean for other access methods?
- Will cloud-scale computing giants dominate this field?
