5G and edge

With our help, our telco clients can develop strategies to develop, transform and deliver business value with 5G and multi-access edge computing (MEC).

5G and Edge will transform the telco industry in ways that we can’t yet even imagine. And we can help you take advantage of these opportunities – quickly, cost-efficiently, and at scale.

To do that, we combine technology, systems integration and engineering expertise across IT, operational technology (OT) and networks.

Our service offerings include:

• Plan and strategy through digital transformation
• 5G open network infrastructure
• Strategic service platforms
• Use cases and applications
• Ecosystem orchestration and integration
• 5G end-to-end business and operational services.


Work with us, and you’ll be ready to achieve the promises of Intelligent Industry, powered by data.

    Welcome to our 5G industry-focus labs

    To support organizations in their 5G journey and win the innovation game, we have developed the 5G labs.

      What we do

      This transforms the way everyone – companies, governments and consumers – interacts and does business, leading to ground-breaking innovations and services.

      It connects devices, and collects and exploits data to unlock efficiency and innovation.

      It exploits 5G’s higher speeds and capacity, lower latency, and greater reliability to pave the way for many more innovative use cases, such as robots, automated machines, greater factory automation, augmented and virtual reality – all delivered at scale, cost-effectively, and through a highly flexible network.

      And it takes advantage of Edge computing’s ability to transform the way connected objects are designed. Any product or asset can instantly become smart, by bringing cloud applications closer to the device, optimizing service performance and experience.

      Our 5G Labs
      This gives CSPs a single, scalable, versatile, and future-proof infrastructure that can provide distributed cloud services – and more.

      It uses 5G to create bespoke networks that can meet the different connectivity requirements of consumers and of many different industry sectors.

      It enables networks to be upgraded faster and more cost-effectively, with an infrastructure that is highly agile, and with zero-touch orchestration.

      It uses Edge infrastructure to optimize networks for CSPs, offering distributed cloud services to enterprise players and third-party application providers.

      It puts computing power much closer to where data is generated, so there is almost zero latency in connection and processing.

      And it creates opportunities for more immersive and interactive services and experiences.
