Rearchitecting a Global Connected-Car Network

A recent deployment by one of our partners, Travelping, demonstrates an interesting use case for solving a cellular carrier issue using edge infrastructure capabilities from Equinix.

The carrier’s network, while global, was not set up to remove some of the multi-access complexity which then impacted latency, or meet all the data localization requirements for connected vehicle regulations.

The Solution?

Travelping’s solution was to deploy the PDN Gateway functionality virtually in an Equinix data center in Korea using Equinix Metal, the bare metal cloud service that provides automated dedicated compute infrastructure on demand globally.
