This is why Singtel and Intel today launched a 5G MEC incubator that will enable enterprises to adopt 5G seamlessly, deploy applications that need low latency processing at the edge, and drive innovation.
From smart factories to autonomous robots or vehicles, there are many ways that 5G and multi-access edge compute (MEC) can transform industries. However, most enterprises are still experimenting with those technologies instead of scaling them throughout the organisation.
“Many enterprises are starting to understand how 5G [and MEC] can transform their operations, but I think they are still in the midst of figuring out what investments [are needed to benefit from those technologies]. It involves a lot of change of systems, devices, processes and people, so they’ll need to have [a strong business case] to maximise those investments,” says Bill Chang, chief executive officer, Group Enterprise and Regional Data Centre Business at Singtel, at a media briefing today.
