Telco Edge Cloud enabling multi-operator distribution

• Brands using Odience demand maximum reachability to deliver

content to all of their customers

• Multi-MNO MEC solution is a must for users wishing to share the

experience across different carriers

• Odience is presently performing aggregation across multiple carriers

at the application layer

• Long term objective is to align with OP architecture and offload MEC

interworking and orchestration tasks

• Adding support for roaming, resource reservation and other features

not available without direct OP integration

• Integration with hyperscalers is key to achieving rapid scale and

Public Cloud Edge Interface already a reality with LF Akraino

Alignment with GSMA OPG for Universal Reach TEC Interop and Federation

5G Edge Trials with numerous MNOs

• Bandwidth reduction as a result of Edge Computing enables use

cases such as 8K live streaming which could not be achieved at

scale with OTT methodologies

• Monetization of 5G benefits greatly from business models which

include federated access to edge resources across more than a

single MNO

• Edge applications need backwards compatibility for cases when

users may transition to 4G or WiFi coverage in order to be

commercially successful

• End users exceedingly preferred edge-powered online experiences

with higher levels of interactivity and social engagement compared

to the current generation of applications used to access content

from their favorite creators and brands

• Content creators require instant on-demand scale and the capability

to live stream high resolution content from anywhere, without any

technical skills
