7 Principles of AT&T’s Network Transformation Disaggregation, Cloud, and Intelligent SDN

Individual users and business customers will have many different needs, requirements, and varying levels of mobility (stationary, nomadic or full mobility). Because of this, AT&T has been focusing on building 5G and edge technologies together to give customers a choice when it comes to cloud and edge services. 

Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) will create localization for edge computing, data traffic routing, and policy management using edge compute hardware for a private 5G experience. 

Complimentary to MEC, Network Edge Computing (NEC) allows for the secure co-location of public cloud partners with AT&T’s 5G network edge to create powerful applications.

AT&T and Microsoft Test Network Edge Compute to Enhance 5G for Business

Now we’re taking it a step further, testing how to bring network edge compute (NEC) capabilities into the AT&T 5G network with Microsoft Azure.

...

We expect to share more details about NEC services with Microsoft Azure later this year. NEC is part of AT&T’s broader edge compute strategy that also includes AT&T Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC).
