Mobile network operators, cable companies and hyperscalers are all investing in edge infrastructure, with market drivers including use cases from private cellular networking to edge robotics in industry—as well as disaggregated open networks, said Bejoy Pankajakshan, EVP and chief technology and strategy officer for Mavenir.
During the Mobile Edge Forum virtual event, Pankajakshan said that a major shift in processing is coming. “Today, if we look at how the applications are being processed, less than 10% of the traffic is actually processed outside of a traditional data center, which comes from the operator,” he said.
