The CW Technology & Engineering Conference is a day designed specifically for engineers. Following on from CWIC 2020: At the Edge, CW TEC 2020 explored the concept of the 5G edge, reviewing the role of edge computing within the broader 5G architecture evolution.
It’s difficult to read about 5G without seeing mention of the "edge" - edge computing, edge cloud, edge services… but what is the edge? Where is the edge? And why is the edge important for 5G?
CW TEC brought delegates up to speed on the concept of the 5G edge: reviewing the role of edge computing within the broader 5G architecture evolution, exploring what edge brings to infrastructure, and how edge can enable innovative products and services.
The location of the edge was discussed along with studies of latency in real, operational mobile network environments. The event provided context to the work in ETSI ISG MEC and explored where multi-access edge computing will sit within future converged fixed and mobile networks.
