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.

Retail

Stay competitive with the Intel® Smart Edge Software MEC solution.

Why Intel® Smart Edge?

Speed

A better experience

MEC puts applications one hop from the user, reducing latency and improving user experience.

Decentralization

Compute at the edge

Each MEC edge node enables applications to be deployed across the network instead of being run in the data center.

Intelligence

Faster analytics

MEC provides analytics, caching, computation and traffic routing at the edge, resulting in a far more intelligent and extensible network.

Flexibility

Leverage a robust API

The MEC platform introduces an API which allows dynamic management of the MEC cloud and it empowers application developers to leverage information about the user persona.

Integration

Microservices that work

The MEC ecosystem is built upon microservices, which means scalability and low-impact introduction of new features into the environment.

Security

Integrated protection

Encryption, authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation are inherent to the platform. We extensively use asymmetric keys and TLS mutual authentication for all aspects of communication.

Product Offerings

Intel® Smart Edge Software: MEC Controller

Centralized provisioning and management

This platform is comprised of five components, collectively providing the following core services to an Intel® Smart Edge Software solution:
  • Centralized orchestration of hardware and software components of all edge computing nodes.
  • Select aggregation and normalization of third party application programming interfaces (API) for services running on the edge.
  • Lifecycle and configuration management of Intel® Smart Edge Software node firmware and software (including the operating environment), core software features, and 3rd party software.
  • Centralized reporting and capacity planning.
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) and user provisioning with integration into existing evolved packet core (EPC) modules and third party infrastructure.

Intel® Smart Edge Software: MEC Edge Node

On-premise network communications, microservices, and hosted cloud native applications

Managed by the Intel® Smart Edge Software controller, benefits of the edge node includes:
  • Zero-trust security framework to ensure operational integrity.
  • Management of all communication services.
  • Use case-specific applications hosted on-premise.
  • Policy enforcement.
  • Wireless and wired interfaces.
