Frost Radar™: Private Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC)

Is your organization equipped to implement best practices and accelerate innovation in private multi-access edge computing (MEC)?

The proliferation of disruptive technologies is intensifying the demand for reduced network latencies, robust security, real-time analytics, and higher network bandwidths. Now, by bringing cloud-computing capabilities and IT services to the edge of the network, MEC is establishing itself as a foundational technology for industrial enterprises, content providers, and application developers.

However, telecom companies cannot implement and commercialize MEC alone. This is pushing them to establish strategic partnerships with the following ecosystem players to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities:
  • Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) – for delivering wireless communication services through 4G and 5G.
  • Cloud Providers and Hyperscalers – for providing storage and computing capabilities at scale.
  • IT Infrastructure Vendors – for supplying underlying hardware and software.
  • Edge Data Center Support Vendors – for supplying data center equipment, power, and management systems.
  • Edge Application/Solution Developers - for integrating 5G and MEC to launch innovative applications/ services.
  • Global System Integrators (GSIs) – delivering integration, advisory, and managed services in MEC.
