Blueprint Family - Proposed Name

Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI)

Use Case

Telco Edge deployments can provide APIs to support capabilities such as the following

• UPF shunting capability -- routing the traffic to desired applications and network functions
• Local breakout – video traffic offiload
• Wireless air-port status
• Location service -- location of a specific UE, or identification of UEs within a geographical area
• QoS acceleration – provide low latency, high throughput for OTT applications
• Slicing scheduling management -- offering dedicated resources specifically tailored for application needs
• Authentication – provided as service enablement (e.g., two-factor authentication) used by most OTT service providers 
• Security – provided as service enablement (e.g., firewall service insertion)

Blueprint proposed 

Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI)

Initial POD Cost (capex)

1 x86/Arm server, 4G/5G radio, switch

Scale & Type

x86/Arm servers + FPGA acceleration

Applications

Value-added capabilities of operators to open up, e.g.

• Portability
• Location capabilities
• Wireless network information capabilities

Different applications will trigger different APIs.
