Intel, RIFT.io

Intel, RIFT.io, Vasona Networks and Xaptum announced ETSI Industry Specification Group for Mobile Edge Computing (ISG MEC) has approved its joint multi-access edge computing (MEC) industrial IoT proof of concept (PoC). The companies will showcase the low-latency PoC at Mobile World Congress.

The joint demonstration will show a MEC platform providing low-latency Industrial IoT with scalable real-time data exchange between IoT devices and cloud-based industrial applications.

The MEC platform enables breakout and redirection of IoT traffic on the Radio Access Network (RAN) and locally hosts a secure IoT virtual gateway that directs the traffic to an optimized, dedicated IoT IP network.

Applications can leverage low-latency transactions with real-time metadata about localized usage, security and end-user quality of service (QoS).
