environment at the edge of

the mobile network

MEC Characteristics

› Proximity

› Ultra-low latency

› High bandwidth

› Real-time access to radio

network information

› Location awareness

Requirements: preserve

mobile network functions

MEC Why

On the road to 5G 5G goals

› Faster data with speeds up to 10Gbps peaks, 100Mbs

steady

› Ultra-low latency

› Billions of connected devices

Timeline

› Initial trials in 2017

› Large scale deployments beyond 2020

MEC can help MNOs can achieve 5G goals today with seamless

integration into green/brown field deployments

On the road to 5G – video

Video applications will contribute 56% of total demand

IoT, IIoT, M2M Business case

› Sell more SIMs

› Sell more traffic

› Run analytics closer to the things

› Extend battery life (10 years for sensors’ batteries)

Fog computing

Distributes resources and services of computing,

storage, control and networking anywhere along

the continuum from Cloud to Things

IoT use case: connected cars

Business (AT&T use case)

› By 2017 – AT&T predicts 12M new

car-SIMs

› 10$/month for an additional SIM

for users with existing mobile plan

› Additional revenue from analytics

IoT use case: connected cars

MEC supports connected car services

› Rich-media infotainment and

targeted advertising

› Over-the-air smooth SW updates

› Diagnostics Solutions that rely on

real-time sensor dataV2E

› Voice activated geo-location and

navigation services
