INTEL® SMART EDGE
Introducing the next advancement in multi-access edge computing and private mobility.
Intel acquired Smart Edge in 2019 to continue to drive its vision of networks built on open, industry-standard edge computing. Built on OpenNESS (openness.org), the Intel® Smart Edge offering is a multi-access edge (MEC) platform commercialized for market use cases for on-premise enterprise deployments that require the following benefits:
Low Latency
When 5 milliseconds can impact a decision, edge computing delivers.
Private Mobility
Stand-up your own private LTE network to enjoy the security, service, and broad set of network services.
Simplicity
Stand-up and configure your network in minutes, tailored specifically to your needs and applications.
Open Architecture
As part of Intel, know that your device has built in open APIs, performance, and security for today and tomorrow.
What is Multi-Access Edge Computing?
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) enables a powerful cloud at the edge of the network. MEC decentralizes networks and allows any enterprise or mobile operator to place a cloud at the edge, adjacent to the user.
