5G Edge is a mobile edge computing platform available for businesses and organizations. By integrating compute and storage services at the public 5G or LTE network edge, or colocated on-premises with a private wireless network, 5G Edge helps Verizon customers bring to market increasingly transformative use cases that were previously untenable or impossible.
5G is a cellular technology that represents the next generation of mobile connectivity, following 4G LTE. 5G Edge is a mobile edge computing platform for organizations. By integrating compute and storage services at the public 5G or LTE network edge, or colocating them on-premises with a private wireless network, 5G Edge helps Verizon customers bring to market increasingly transformative use cases that were previously untenable or impossible.
Verizon was recently named a leader in mobile edge computing (MEC) solutions by Frost & Sullivan. In 2023, Frost & Sullivan awarded Verizon with the Best Practices Company of the Year Award in the global multi-access edge computing industry. As a pioneer in 5G and MEC, Verizon was selected as a Frost & Sullivan Frost Radar leader for Private MEC.
Multi-access edge computing is a network architecture concept that enables cloud computing capabilities and an IT service environment at the edge of any network. Mobile edge computing provides both an IT service environment and cloud-computing capabilities at the edge of the mobile network, within the radio access network (RAN) and in closer proximity to mobile subscribers, enterprises and other organizations.
Verizon has expertise in building, maintaining and operating both public and private networks, and remotely managing hundreds of millions of devices. We invest billions of dollars every year to help ensure our networks are resilient and future-ready. And just as critically, we understand digital transformation and have the experience and expertise to help organizations evolve and advance. It’s why 99% of the Fortune 500 count on us to help their enterprises thrive. Other advantages include:
5G Ultra Wideband
Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband is paving the way for a new era of business innovations with ultra-fast speeds and low latency.
Carrier-grade
Private carrier-grade deployments at the Verizon customer premises provide even lower latency and are complementary with other existing networking technologies.
Network density
Verizon 5G Edge is a mobile edge computing (MEC) platform. And MEC is all about moving computing and related infrastructure closer to the end user, so we’re building out service access points (SAPs) across our extensive network. Those SAPs, along with fiber, small-cell technology and other network densification efforts, help ensure that Verizon can support our customers’ next-generation application requirements. Private wireless network deployment solutions provide even more flexibility and availability.
Virtualization from core to edge
Having virtualized the core of its network, Verizon is taking significant steps forward in virtualizing the radio access network (RAN) edge and moving computing functionality to the edge of the network. This is what makes 5G Edge possible.
Security and quality of service (QoS)
5G Ultra Wideband embeds security protocols that help ensure Verizon customer user and development environments are secure, while managing the quality of your experiences based on user type or policy service levels. It’s a more secure, high-performance alternative to Wi-Fi.
