Leveraging Edge, As-a-Service and AI for Access Network Transformation

Join 451 Research Analysts Rich Karpinski and Mark Fontecchio as they lead a panel discussion on how network providers are using edge computing, edge AI, and network-as-a-service and OpenRAN concepts to transform how they deliver enterprise connectivity and digital services. From next-generation 5G/6G wireless networks to global IoT connectivity to multi-access edge compute (MEC) infrastructure, today’s operators have the tools to help industries transform how they do business – but they must transform their own networks first.

As a proof-point of the power of this network transformation, we’ll examine how the auto industry is looking to leverage edge compute and MEC services as they put a new generation of EV-powered and increasingly autonomous vehicles on the road. Learn how the industry MEC4Auto initiative – driven by auto OEMs and IT and network providers – is defining the low-latency, local connectivity infrastructure necessary for tomorrow’s connected cars to reach their full potential.

Join our panel as they address critical industry issues:

• What is the role of edge compute and edge AI in tomorrow’s more disaggregated and open operator networks, and what is the best, most economical way to deploy and run this more distributed infrastructure?
• How are network operators leveraging these concepts today – and into the future – to transform their networks and how they deliver critical enterprise services?
• What role are operator networks and shared edge infrastructure playing in enabling auto sector use cases like assisted driving, cross-border network roaming, and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity?
