Bridge Alliance, which is made up of operators and their customers in the Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, announced that two alliance members, SK Telecom and SingTel, have successfully completed the first phase of a proof-of-concept involving the carriers’ multi-access edge computing (MEC) platforms.
MEC supports various ultra-low latency applications including drones, automated guided vehicles and mixed reality, but in the case of this POC, the carriers demonstrated cloud gaming on their MEC platforms deployed through the Bridge Alliance Federated Edge Hub, validating the platforms’ ability to host and deliver edge compute resources across multiple geographies to support low latency applications.
