Edge Compute

Multi-Access Edge Computing The general architectural concept of hosting application compute close to the radio access network across any access technology, reducing latency and backhaul traffic for applications served near the network edge… Concept/Framework Network Densification Network Densification is the increase in the number of network nodes, access points, or base stations in a given area to improve capacity or coverage. Operations Onboard Computer Onboard Computer is the embedded computing unit that executes control logic, processing, and coordination functions on a vehicle or platform. Hardware Port Address Translation Port Address Translation is a form of address translation that maps multiple private addresses to a single public address using different port numbers. It extends basic NAT behavior. Protocol Robotics Robotics is the design and operation of machines that sense their environment, process input, and act on the physical world. Concept/Framework SASE A cloud-native architecture converging SD-WAN networking with cloud-delivered security functions — secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, zero-trust network access, firewall-as-a-service — applying consistent security policy to traffic regardless… Concept/Framework Sensor Network A Sensor Network is a set of distributed sensors that collect and transmit data about physical conditions or events. It supports monitoring and automation through distributed sensing. Concept/Framework Service Mesh Service Mesh is an infrastructure layer that manages service-to-service communication, security, and observability in distributed applications. It adds policy control to east-west traffic. Software Tactical Edge The practice of positioning compute and data processing capability physically at the point of tactical operation — a forward location, a vehicle, an individual unit — rather than depending on… Concept/Framework Telco Cloud The virtualized, cloud-native infrastructure layer telecommunications operators run their own network functions on, built using network function virtualization principles across centralized data centers and distributed edge locations, replacing dedicated hardware… Concept/Framework
