The hub-to-hub interconnection between the Bridge Alliance Federated Edge Hub (FEH) and MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud platform could allow edge applications to be deployed across different edge platforms and regions served by each hub. Singtel\u2019s MEC and Telefonica\u2019s MEC are connected by FEH and MobiledgeX Edge-Cloud platform respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-business-relevence\">Business Relevence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the interconnection, Singtel\u2019s customers can deploy edge applications on Telefonica\u2019s MEC and vice versa, enabling multi-market services delivery across an extended geographical footprint, including Asia and Europe. Customers, developers, and partners can discover, and order cross-regional edge resources and deploy applications through a unified interface, ensuring a uniform application deployment experience across different networks and markets in these regions. Previously, interconnections were performed between operators on a one-on-one basis, making it difficult to scale the edge coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-role-of-bridge-alliance-feh-and-mobiledgex\">Role of Bridge Alliance FEH and MobiledgeX<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bridge Alliance FEH is a platform that interconnects the MEC of its member operators, allowing easy onboarding of their respective edge platforms, thus enabling them to discover and order their counterparts\u2019 edge compute resources in markets across multiple geographies via a one-stop-shop. Bridge Alliance had previously completed a Proof of Concept for the edge cloud federation involving Singtel and SK Telecom MEC platforms in Singapore and South Korea respectively. Meanwhile, MobiledgeX\u2019s federation capabilities enable mobile operators using its Edge-Cloud platform to interact with other operator platform instances, providing developers with larger edge reach and operator capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scope-of-interconnection\">Scope of Interconnection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To perform federation management and initiate a federation request between Bridge Alliance FEH and MobiledgeX edge-cloud platforms. This covers the APIs to enable authentication and edge zone discovery between hubs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To perform application orchestration and management by the edge application provider.
