It is well established that edge computing is opening up new use cases that are computing and data-intensive, latency-sensitive and that may also require data residency, security and resilience. As Edge becomes a commercial reality, with more players competing in the space, operators are looking to the power of community as one part of their strategy to stake a claim in the edge value chain.<\/p>\n

The GSMA has helped telcos to tackle this challenge as a community-based approach by looking at ways to engage the application developers ecosystem. The GSMA\u00a0Telco Edge Cloud<\/strong> (TEC) initiative was formed by 19 MNOs in March 2020 \u2013 and has since grown to 22. The aim of the initiative is to create a global interoperable telco edge architecture that when adopted by operators worldwide, will create a consistent platform for developers and others to access edge computing resources with a global footprint. To support the TEC initiative, the GSMA\u2019s Operator Platform Group (OPG) is developing technical specifications that will deliver the required interoperability across MNOs.<\/p>\n

The first TEC trial involving Telefonica and Deutsche Telekom working with MobiledgeX took place earlier this year. The trial connected two edge nodes (cloudlets) running in Spain and Germany, where a latency-sensitive AR game was implemented using MobiledgeX\u2019s aggregation platform.<\/p>\n

Check out this video<\/a> to find out how the families of Juan Carlos Garcia (Telefonica) in Spain and Alexander Lautz (Deutsche Telekom) in Germany fared with this differentiated AR gaming experience.<\/p>\n
