Business resiliency—and new opportunity—demand agility. That means accessing new technology as it emerges and acting faster on data at its source. Putting compute closer to where data is generated can help companies uncover new revenue sources by reducing data latency and drawing new insights from previously untapped data sources. Explore how Intel is delivering on those demands with Intel® Smart Edge offerings.

A massive and continued growth in data generation, combined with emerging 5G, AI and edge use cases for both consumers and enterprises, is driving CoSPs to overhaul their networks to be more flexible and scalable. CoSPs need transformed networks that can address requirements for higher bandwidth, lower latency, higher reliability and improved user experiences, without sacrificing efficiency. Intel is accelerating the path to virtualized RAN (vRAN) with the most complete set of technology solutions on the market to enable commercial vRAN implementations for 5G.

As use cases for 5G spring to life across Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC)—the 5G Wireless core deployment momentum is getting ever stronger. Migrating to a cloud-native 5G standalone (SA) wireless core is a vital step to capitalize on 5G, offering ease of deployment, operational efficiency, service agility, and the scale to achieve total cost of ownership savings while monetizing new 5G-enabled services. Intel’s best-in-class 5G core solutions span Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, accelerators, FPGAs, connectivity (Ethernet and silicon photonics), memory, and smart NICs, with enhanced security for 5G architecture.
