Live Q&A Session – Edgenomics Day 1

Live Q&A panel held at the end of Day One of the DSP Leaders Summit on Edgenomics. TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre are joined by returning panelists on the first day of the summit to discuss topics related to the economics of Edge for telcos.

Amongst the audience questions posed to the panelists are:

1. Is the Edge an essential component for a successful 5G strategy, or is 5G an essential use case for Telco Edge to succeed?
2. Are there specific ‘carrier class’ edge computing systems that operators need to consider or is off-the-shelf compute and storage suitable?
3. Where should a telco be focusing its R&D for Edge?
4. What role do industry bodies play in helping the industry decide the best strategy? Which groups are working well?
5. Are there specific services that can only be delivered over 5G with an Edge deployment?

Featuring:

• Alex Reznik, HPE Distinguished Technologist, Telco Chair, ETSI ISG MEC
• Ian Hood, Chief Technologist, Red Hat
• Jehanne Savi, Senior VP Innovation for Future Connectivity Business & Beyond, Orange
