Preguntas frecuentes
Private MEC is an edge compute platform that can be deployed where a Private Wireless Network has been installed for coverage. This allows it to be implemented in almost any location as it is not reliant on public wireless coverage. It provides on-site compute and storage hardware in an “as a service” model. The close proximity of the wireless network and compute resources provide the low latency for those apps that require it.
It also provides enhanced security, since data can be stored locally on premises. Private MEC deployments are typically used for IoT solutions which rely on low network latency and real-time data processing, such as automated guided vehicles management, computer vision processing and predictive maintenance.
Verizon 5G Edge with AWS Outposts combines on-premises compute and storage hardware services to support a set of devices or sensors enabling applications through private/local network communication. By colocating our network, compute and storage services, Verizon enables applications to run even closer to endpoints, greatly reducing latency and speeding end-to-end processing.
By making the 5G Edge with AWS Outposts platform available, we can help unlock new business and consumer use cases that were previously impossible due to technology limitations. 5G Edge with AWS Outposts, together with Private 5G Network, provides applications that utilize near real-time data with low latency and high throughput and can support a massive number of connected devices and simultaneous users.
Additionally, combining the capabilities of these two industry-leading brands into this solution improves our ability to provide customers with world-class experiences and services.
