MWC 2016: AMD and Saguna Collaborate to Design Low-Power High-Performance Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Solutions for Mobile Networks.

During #MWC16 Companies will demonstrate CloudFlare Content Acceleration MEC Application running on integrated platform.

AMD and Saguna collaborate to create scalable and economical Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) platforms for powering time-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile data and video applications.

With the advent of IoT and the need to connect increasing numbers of connected devices, mobile networks face a tough scalability challenge. The need to secure the large volumes of data and content generated by these connected devices exacerbates the situation.

Addressing these challenges, AMD and Saguna are working to help mobile operators and system integrators transform the centric mobile network architecture with distributed edge computing operating inside the Radio Access Network (RAN), in close proximity to the end user or thing. 

The pre-integrated platform design enables network vendors and system integrators to scale and secure mobile networks while creating a flexible MEC design that reduces time-to-market for developing and deploying new MEC services. The joint initiatives are based on Saguna Open-RAN MEC platform running on the high-performance AMD Embedded R-Series processor (codenamed "Merlin Falcon").

The AMD R-Series is a system-on-chip (SOC) that combines GPU and CPU processing resources that can simultaneously execute IPSec security, control, and data processing. 

By packaging these capabilities in low-power processing architecture and bringing them to the edge of mobile networks, AMD processing can dramatically improve performance and increase security while helping reduce operating costs.

The Saguna Open-RAN MEC platform creates an open ecosystem and long-term growth engine inside the mobile RAN. The ETSI MEC standard-based solution enables mobile operators to quickly and effectively deploy new revenue generating services for content delivery, Internet-of-things (IoT) connectivity, retail and enterprise applications and more. 

With fully virtualized software architecture, Saguna Open-RAN reduces CAPEX and OPEX promoting the adoption network function virtualization (NFV).

 "As the number of mobile, connected devices continues to expand, AMD is thrilled to be working with Saguna to deliver secure, low-power platforms for Mobile Edge Computing," said Dilip Ramachandran, senior director of communications and networking, AMD Enterprise Solutions.  "By working with Saguna, our customers can confidently scale the delivery of their services as their business and their customers' demands grow."

"We are very excited to collaborate with AMD to accelerate the growth of the MEC ecosystem. Our joint initiatives will expand community of mobile operators, system integrators and application developers, which can bring to market new MEC services and applications" said Ofer Talmor, Saguna's VP Products. "As MEC becomes a market standard, Saguna emerges as the most practical and advanced solution in the market today offering mobile operators the fastest track to a profitable high-performance network."

When and where can you see it in action? 

The companies will present their MEC solution running CloudFlare Mobile Edge application at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, scheduled for February 22-25, 2016.

The demonstrations will be held at AMD's meeting room Hall 2 Stand 2B52MR and Saguna's booth #5C81. To schedule a demo please click here.

MWC 2016: ADLINK and Saguna Bring to Market a Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Solution.

ADLINK and Saguna Bring to Market a Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Solution for Extreme Outdoor Environments.

Joint MEC solution boosting augmented reality e-commerce visualization by CIMAGINE will be demonstrated at #MWC16.

ADLINK Technology, Inc., a leading global provider of cloud-based services, intelligent gateways, and embedded building blocks for edge devices that enable the Internet of Things (IoT), and Saguna, the Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) pioneer making mobile broadband faster, simpler and more economical, announced today a joint Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) solution designed for deployments in harsh outdoor environments.

As MEC gains momentum, and new trials and live deployments are underway, the need for robust, no-fault equipment increases. Bringing the Internet closer to users and the things of the IoT requires MEC platforms to be deployed at the edge of the Radio Access Network (RAN), which is often in harsh outdoor environments.

Saguna and ADLINK integrated solution addresses this market need for rugged, outdoor deployments. The joint solution is comprised of Saguna Open-RAN, an advanced and fully virtualized MEC platform, operating on ADLINK's rugged SETO-1000 extreme outdoor server platform designed for extreme conditions. The joint solution is compact, cost-effective and easy-to-install. By co-locating the MEC infrastructure with existing network real estate, mobile operators can reduce costs while delivering new services and improving network performance.

"I am excited that together, ADLINK and Saguna are bringing to market the first outdoor MEC solution featuring ADLINK's SETO-1000 and Saguna's advanced MEC software platform," said Yong Luo, General Manager of ADLINK's Embedded Computing Product Segment. 

"ADLINK's SETO-1000 is an advanced edge computing solution that enables telecom carriers to reduce back-haul and transmission costs. It also provides smoother and faster delivery for application providers, as well as a faster web browser response experience for end users."

Commenting on the integration, Saguna CTO Danny Frydman said, "Our work with ADLINK resulted in a highly effective solution that answers a real market need for mobile operators. This ruggedized MEC platform accelerates the adoption of MEC and offers the low-latency support required by Internet of Things and Tactile Internet applications."
