MEC capabilities

Research closer to the network edge

Edge computing uses processing and service capability close to users and devices. Combined with 5G, it can support applications that need timely decisions, local context and efficient data handling.

Develop edge applications

Create and study applications intended to operate within a multi-access edge computing environment.

Integrate with 5G functions

Investigate how virtualised MEC components interact with 5G core network functions and lower protocol layers.

Evaluate use cases

Explore demanding scenarios in IoT, intelligent systems, security, sensing and low-latency services.

Move toward validation

Use test-bed experimentation to connect algorithms and software with operational network behaviour.
