Boost business agility, flexibility and more.

Our 5G Edge technology enhances public MEC applications, enabling companies to collect, process and analyze data faster. All on the network America relies on.

Low
latency

The potential for single-digit latency will open doors to a whole new generation of business possibilities.

Localized
data

Businesses can act on data right where it’s created. This can lead to greater performance, contextually aware applications and improved security.

Expanded loT
potential

MEC significantly lowers the energy and battery demand in IoT devices, allowing for rapid expansion.

5G Edge
Services

Effectively build, deploy and monitor the performance of networks, devices, infrastructure and applications.

Discover which MEC is right for your business.

Public MEC is a service that’s available to any Verizon customer. With Private MEC, specific MEC services are located on the business customer’s premises.

Public MEC


Supports mobile inputs.

Best for applications that support mobile users and devices, such as autonomous vehicles on the public 5G network.

Reduces
latency.

Substantially reduces app latency, compared to traditional cloud-computing architecture.

Decreases data transport costs.

Brings compute resources closer to your bandwidth-intensive application endpoints to help reduce backhaul costs.

Allows for multi-tenant resource sharing.

Supports applications that do not require constant, dedicated compute resources—which can help reduce compute costs.

Private MEC


Serves fixed locations.

Supports applications that are contained to a single endpoint with a private 5G network inside, such as a manufacturing facility.

Delivers near real-time performance.

Located on premises, it accommodates applications that require extreme low-latency for better performance.

Provides data
sovereignty.

Reinforces onsite dedicated servers to provide better control over data and enhanced security.

Serves as a dedicated resource.

Accommodates compute-intensive requirements that call for dedicated always-on reserved requirements.


Creating the future.
