Edge is gaining momentum, allowing telcos to capture new commercial opportunities. But to gain the confidence of users when adopting new technologies, the architecture issues must be answered. So what are the challenges MEC creates for the network? What needs to be considered when defining the right MEC architecture? What are the key layers to ensure the network is secured, automated and reliable? What solution does not break the network operations? We investigate best practice examples of MEC architectures, the functional layers and identify the security challenges.
MEC Architecture Components: host and network, platform, orchestrator, Operation support system (OSS)
