Global Broadband Application and Service Optimization Report 2016: Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Fog Computing - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Broadband Application and Service Optimization: Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Fog Computing" report to their offering.

Mobile Edge (News - Alert) Computing (MEC) is a concept developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) that aims to bring computational power into Mobile RAN (radio access network) to promote virtualization of software at the radio edge. MEC enables the edge of the network to run in an isolated environment from the rest of the network and creates access to local resources and data.

Fog Computing is a distributed computing infrastructure in which some application services are controlled at the network edge in a smart device and some application services are controlled in a remote data center (e.g. a centralized Cloud). In a Fog Computing environment, a considerable amount of processing may occur in a data hub on a smart mobile device or on the edge of the network in a smart router or other gateway device. This distributed approach is rising in popularity due to the Internet of Things (IoT) and the immense amount of data that sensors generate.

This research evaluates the technologies and solutions involved with distributed computing in a mobile/cellular and edge Cloud evironment. The report assesses the future of edge computing for mobile/wireless and IoT. The report analyzes important architecture and service support issues such as security in distributed computing, real-time analytics, data management, and more.
