Edge Computing on growth path to US8.3 billion spend in 2025 Featured
By Peter Dinham
Global network operator spend on Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) will grow from US$2.7 billion in 2020, to US$8.3 billion in 2025, as operators invest heavily in upgrading network capacities and infrastructure to support the increasing data generated by 5G networks, according to a new report.
The study by Juniper Research also revealed that by 2025, the number of deployed MEC nodes will reach 2 million globally in 2025, up from 230,000 in 2020.
According to Juniper, these devices, which take the form of access points, base stations, and routers, will play a vital role in managing the vast quantities of data generated by connected vehicles, smart city systems and other emerging data-intensive services.
The research identified smart cities as a key industry that will benefit from MEC node roll-outs, as operators and planning authorities identify how best to install 5G-compatible edge nodes - and suggests that these parties explore utilising existing city structures, such as street lighting and sidewalks, to mitigate issues of space limitation inherent to densely-populated areas.
The new research, Edge Computing: Use Cases, Innovation Opportunities & Market Forecasts 2020-2025, notes that this increase in investment is a result of network operators enhancing key network functions, by moving infrastructure used for processing data from core network locations, to base stations at the edge of their networks. It anticipates that the capabilities of 5G technologies, such as high throughput, low latencies and high device densities, will necessitate roll-outs of MEC nodes in urban areas.
And according to the research, services, such as music streaming, digital TV services and cloud gaming, will be the biggest beneficiaries of the ultra-low latency provided by operators’ increasing roll-outs of MEC nodes over the next 5 years.
The research also forecasts that over 920 million individuals will benefit from edge enhanced Internet connectivity by 2025; rising from 100 million individuals in 2020.

Now’s the Time for 400G Migration
The optical fibre community is anxiously awaiting the benefits that 400G capacity per wavelength will bring to existing and future fibre optic networks.Nearly every business wants to leverage the latest in digital offerings to remain competitive in their respective markets and to provide support for fast and ever-increasing demands for data capacity. 400G is the answer.
Initial challenges are associated with supporting such project and upgrades to fulfil the promise of higher-capacity transport.
The foundation of optical networking infrastructure includes coherent optical transceivers and digital signal processing (DSP), mux/demux, ROADM, and optical amplifiers, all of which must be able to support 400G capacity.
With today’s proprietary power-hungry and high cost transceivers and DSP, how is migration to 400G networks going to be a viable option?
PacketLight's next-generation standardised solutions may be the answer. Click below to read the full article.
WEBINAR PROMOTION ON ITWIRE: It's all about webinars
These days our customers Advertising & Marketing campaigns are mainly focussed on webinars.If you wish to promote a Webinar we recommend at least a 2 week campaign prior to your event.
The iTWire campaign will include extensive adverts on our News Site itwire.com and prominent Newsletter promotion https://www.itwire.com/itwire-update.html and Promotional News & Editorial.
This coupled with the new capabilities 5G brings opens up huge opportunities for both network operators and enterprise organisations.
We have a Webinar Business Booster Pack and other supportive programs.
We look forward to discussing your campaign goals with you.
