InterDigital’s AdvantEDGE Platform Awarded Best Innovation in Emerging Technology at Small Cell Forum Awards
May 14 2021 - 4:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, announced that its AdvantEDGE
Open Edge Emulation Platform was granted the award for Innovation
in Emerging Technology or Architecture at the Small Cell Forum
(SCF) Awards. The SCF was established to ensure scale and diversity
within the small cell industry, and for a decade has held the Small
Cell Forum Awards to recognize the best innovations, deployments,
and use cases for small cells.
Edge computing is a fast-growing technology enabler for wireless
access networks, providing applications with access to localized,
low-latency resources and enabling a new class of “edge-native”
applications specifically designed for the edge, like interactive
mixed reality, autonomous vehicles/drones, and more. InterDigital’s
AdvantEDGE is an open edge emulation platform that offers an
experimentation environment that enables application developers and
network architects to explore new edge application models,
services, and network architectures in agile iterations.
“The combination of small cells and edge compute is an important
one for many enterprise and consumer services, and by opening its
AdvantEDGE emulation platform to open-source community,
InterDigital is providing a valuable way for many organizations to
experiment with new use cases,” said Small Cell Forum Chair of
Judges Caroline Gabriel.
AdvantEDGE enables a range of emulated access network
topologies, including 4G/5G networks, indoor WiFi networks, and
hybrids, allows for dynamic and adaptable network characteristics
like mobility or jitter, and can be scaled to serve small networks
and large networks with more than 1,000 nodes. The platform
provides users with visualization dashboards and a geo-spatial
service that overlays the edge network on to a geographic area
alongside extendable edge services. InterDigital offers AdvantEDGE
in open source on GitHub, and to date has experienced more than
100,000 downloads.
“We join the Small Cell Forum in acknowledging the significant
impact of the AdvantEDGE platform to facilitating exploration and
validation of emerging edge-native applications and use cases,”
said Henry Tirri, CTO, InterDigital. “We congratulate the entire
team for their work on this emulation ecosystem that will help
facilitate and unlock new capabilities for small cell
networks.”
InterDigital was nominated for the Innovation in Emerging
Technology or Architecture award alongside Freshwave Group and the
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI).
