ONE Summit 2022

In this presentation, we will discuss topics related to choosing the right technologies to successfully deploy edge networks/clouds. In all cases, an economical solution calls for flexibility and adaptability as enterprises and operators, worldwide, are adopting intelligent infrastructure and automation technologies as they prepare to deploy Industry 4.0 applications. Private 5G, along with Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN), will enable these expectations. Every device in a warehouse, factory, mine, oil rig, port of call, large retail complex or sports facility will need to connect securely and communicate seamlessly. This ecosystem shift is driving technology investments and innovation in robotics, drones, security systems, connected production lines, Internet of Things (IoT), workflow orchestration and closed loop automation. Furthermore, 5G-enabled devices will be collecting vast amounts of data, some requiring instantaneous processing decisions and outcomes, to be made at the network’s edge or stored for processing, at a later time.
