Network Builders Ecosystem

Higher data throughput

One of the defining changes is the adoption of open and virtual radio access networks (RAN).Another change is the need for increased number of small-cell base stations to support the higher radio frequencies needed by 5G networks to achieve a higher throughput than existing 4G networks.

These conditions require more compute processing power at the network edge. UCC integrates state of the art MEC servers (multi-access edge computing) based on Intel Network Builders ecosystem for performance required to run open and virtual RANs for mobiel operators and/or smaller (5G) private networks in addition to other MEC applications.

MEC extends traditional cloud infrastructure by placing additional nodes at the edge of the network where computation, storage and data analytics can be produced near to where data is consumed or generated.
