    Hi All,

    ETSI recently published ETSI 49 Multi Edge Access Computing federation: deployment considerations

    This White Paper focuses on the deployment options related to MEC federation, especially from an architectural point of view, and with a key focus on ETSI MEC implementations, but also with the aim to provide an open approach considering other standards and technologies. For this purpose, the White Paper firstly analyzes the recent publications of GSMA OPG and recent updates in ETSI MEC and 3GPP specifications, then introduces the synergized architecture supported by both standards organizations, which indicates the background information for the deployment of MEC federation. After the architectural description, this White Paper introduces the business stories that enable readers to understand how MEC federation is beneficial for MEC system providers. Based on these business stories, corresponding deployment options are introduced. The aim is to help edge stakeholders, and all readers in general, to better understand how to choose the appropriate deployment options based on the business stories described in the document. Additionally, this White Paper introduces some key considerations, i.e., connection between MEC systems, multi-domain orchestration and collaboration among operators and with cloud providers and third parties. An understanding of all these aspects will be beneficial for the future deployment of MEC federation and edge capability exposure in these heterogeneous environments.
