The Business Case for MEC in Retail: A TCO Analysis and Its Implications in the 5G Era
Last Updated: Jun 06, 2017
5G will enable communications and computing that delivers low latency and high-speed access to cloud capability. As the industry works towards the commercialization of 5G networks, it has become clear that Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an important part of bringing about this network evolution. MEC is crucial to improving the overall performance of applications and services that the 5G network will enable and to the emergence of new services that are not possible on today’s traditional core-driven network architecture. This paper examines the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a MEC solution within a retail environment and forecasts the opportunity for 5G and MEC installations across four vertical industries.
