Deutsche Telekom and Aricent have joined forces to produce an open source edge framework for 5G • The news comes in the wake of a similar project that AT&T recently contributed to the Linux Foundation • These appear to be attempts to attract new customers to help offset the high cost of the upcoming 5G conversion
Big telecoms want to make sure that when 5G is rolled out wholesale, data centers are ready to handle new edge-based use cases that arise as a result. They’re developing software designed to get the job done and are releasing it as open source.
A month ago, the Linux Foundation announced it was releasing seed code for its Akraino Edge Stack that’s designed for scaling edge cloud services. The project takes advantage of code donated by AT&T for developing carrier-grade applications intended to run in virtual machines or containers.
Last week we heard from Deutsche Telekom and Santa Clara-based design and engineering company Aricent about a low-latency edge platform for quickly developing and launching 5G mobile applications and services. The two partners are planning to release the platform under an open source license. The platform, built for software-defined data centers, will be delivered as a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and includes cloud-native multi-access edge computing (MEC) technologies.
