Introduction
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, Vodafone stands as the forefront of innovation with its best-in-class Edge Computing solutions. Designed to bring computing power closer to where data is generated, Vodafone's Edge Computing offerings enable ultra-low latency, enhanced security and real-time processing capabilities. This transformative technology empowers businesses to unlock new levels of efficiency, responsiveness and scalability, making it an essential component for industries raging from manufacturing and health care to smart cities and autonomous vehicles.
But how is this innovative technology being used in the real world? We gathered a few quotes from some companies that partnered up with Vodafone looking to make use of its Edge Computing capabilities to enable their products and services while supporting, delighting and entertaining their customers.
Quotes
By improving the customer experience with mobile video streaming, while also enabling more efficient video delivery, we see the ultimate benefits of edge compute for operators as greater customer retention and more profitable video business. These benefits align with the over-arching goals of Velocix as it seeks to further strengthen its deep customer relationships.
Craig Sinasac, Head of Products and Innovation - Velocix
Velocix is the leading provider of software for video content delivery networks (CDNs) and works closely with many of the largest providers of video entertainment around the world, including Vodafone Business.
The power of our technology enables a myriad of computer vision use casess that can be enabled by Edge to deliver latency sensitive solutions, while manging the bandwidth costs associated with the computer vision or video analytics solutions. We have partnered with Vodafone Business to realise the true potential of Edge Computing at customer premises, as dedicated Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), or in a cloud environment, using distributed MEC, to ensure that the enterprise customer can deliver the right outcomes.
Kunal Shukla, CTO - Digital Barriers
Digital Barriers is a revolutionary video technology provider that empowers individuals, organisations, and society (including city law enforcement and public safety, industry, transportation, defence, events, retail, healthcare, and hospitality) unlock the full potential of real-time video.
To deliver the Media and Broadcast solution, the production crew - who are using the remote broadcast solution - will be in different physical locations around the UK. Communication is crucial between crew in live 'over-the-top' production, so we need to ensure that they never miss a moment within the live broadcast. ultra-low latency for both communication and transmission of video is critical for this use case- with Edge it allows you to begin to deliver on that promise.
Julian McCrea, Co-Founder - Open Sesame Media
Open Sesame Media is a B2B CPaaS venture providing low latency synchronised audio over 5G to application developers via its patented SyncStage™ platform. In short, we 'sync' a group of devices at extremely low latency (5 to 8 times faster than other audio pipelines) to enable instant 'real time' grouped synchronised digital audio experiences.
The benefit of Edge Computing for Bridge of Worlds (BOW) lies in its capacity to significantly lower latency, facilitating immediate data processing and decision-making directly where data is collected. This capability is crucial for robotics, where real-time responses can drastically improve efficiency and safety. By leveraging Edge Computing, we can develop robotics solutions that are not only faster and more reliable but also more adaptable to complex, changing environments.
Nick Thompson, CEO - BOW
BOW is for all Robotics, and that means anybody who wants to build, experiment and create innovative solutions on any robot. From robot amrs to rovers to humanoids, with BOW there's no limit to what can be achieved.
Edge shows much promise for bringing Vizrt's portfolio of live production products, both on prem and in the cloud together, with Vodafone's 5G network and AWS Wavelength, to further strengthen and simplify our remote production capabilities.
Liam J Hayter, Product Manager - Vizrt
Vizrt is the leader in real-time graphics and live production solutions for content creators. With a 25-year history of inventing new simplified workflows for storytelling. Whether it's in news, sports, broadcast, education, entertainment, live events, digital media, advertising, or anywhere else video lives, Vizrt has helped define and reshape the way video is created and shared with the world.
Vodafone's Developer Marketplace
With Vodafone's robust network infrastructure and expertise, organisations can seamlessly integrate Edge Computing in their operations, driving forward the next wave of digital transformation.
Currently available on Vodafone's Developer Marketplace is the Simple Edge Discovery API, which allows developers to retrieve the name of Vodafone's closest Edge Computing platform to a user's device.
There is also a series of blog posts and tutorials covering some of the possibilities and use cases for Edge Computing on Vodafone's network.
