InterDigital Demos Comprehensive, Compelling Edge Visions at Mobile World Congress 2019
February 25 2019 - 1:35AM
Company Showcases How Today’s Edge
Computing Testbeds and Trials Are Set to
Impact the Future of 5G Wireless Experiences
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2019 – One of the most
promising and compelling areas of 5G development is in edge
connectivity and computing – a technology that remains years ahead
of any market rollout, but which matches the needs for deployment
of drones, VR/AR, robotics and artificial intelligence. With one of
the most comprehensive and compelling edge R&D efforts in the
industry, InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC), a mobile technology
research and development company, will place a focus on this
transformative technology at Mobile World Congress 2019 in
Barcelona.
“With 5G services just beginning to roll out this year, there’s
still a lot of work underway that will make valuable contributions
to the evolving technology and standards,” said Alan Carlton, Vice
President, InterDigital Labs. “We’re collaborating with some
of the best and brightest minds in the industry to bring 5G closer
to the edge – up to and including the terminal – to enable
intelligent new services and more efficient network operations in
an increasingly connected world.”
InterDigital will demonstrate various groundbreaking technology
scenarios that are helping to activate the next generation of
wireless capabilities:
- With its AdvantEDGE™ edge simulation platform demonstration,
InterDigital will show how edge computing combined with 5G
ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) can permit drones
to operate effectively and carefully in a dense urban
environment.
- The company will also demonstrate how its service-based
architecture platform is being deployed in Bristol, UK and
Barcelona in multi-partner initiatives such as Horizon2020 FLAME
and UK-funded Smart Tourism projects. The demo will show
performance benefits across the network, including increasing the
flexibility of network-wide service deployments and facilitating
dynamic mobile function offloading.
- A 5G-CORAL virtual reality video streaming demo will highlight
the benefits of micro-services-based distributed computing at the
extreme edge of the 5G network. Visitors will experience
end-to-end, 360-degree video streaming deployed cost-efficiently
across three tiers of computing nodes (low, medium and high-end)
all under unified orchestration and control.
“What we’re learning from our edge computing research
initiatives is that you need to look at both the network latency
and the edge process latency in tandem,” said Castor. “This
is the kind of insight that only results from testing and trialing
what’s possible, working with testbed and consortium partners, so
we can create technology solutions and global standards that work
day in and day out in the real world.”
InterDigital will also host a daily CREATORS AT MWC19 panel
series, featuring some of the industry’s brightest thought leaders
and technologists. On Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 3:30 p.m. ET, an
esteemed panel will discuss, How Far Can Edge Computing Take Us to
a New Network Architecture? This panel will discuss how edge
computing is becoming more pervasively distributed into the network
including UEs and CPEs, what technologies are involved, what is
wrong with today’s approach to edge computing, what value is there
in driving this down to devices and what are the barriers to making
this happen. Panelists:
- Dr. Rolf Schuster, Director, Open Edge Computing
Initiative
- Laurent Depersin, Director Research and Innovation HOME Lab,
Technicolor
- Arturo Azcorra, Director of IMDEA and VP and Co-Founder,
5TONIC
- Todd Spraggins, Strategy Director, Communications Global
Business Unit, Oracle
- Dirk Trossen, Sr. Principal Engineer, InterDigital and FLAME
Technical Manager
Moderated by Robert Gazda, Sr. Director,
Engineering, InterDigital
