IoT and Infrastructure Smart Edge |
Business driver |
With corona virus spreading worldwide, 62% Rural kids are missing their classes since the Pandemic started, due to no or very low internet bandwidth. While teachers and students are predominantly from surrounding areas, there is no need for the video feeds to be processed 100s or 1000s of miles away from the rural network. Processing at the edge will allow localized educational platform to operate with low internet bandwidth.
Patients and doctors need very high definition video to engage with real impact. 5G provides low latency/high bandwidth opportunity but unless the processing is done at the edge, near to where the doctor and patient is, the opportunity can't be utilized to improve doctor-patient engagements.

Business use cases | A city is smart when investments in human and social capital, traditional infrastructure and disruptive technologies fuel sustainable economic growth and higher quality of life, with a wise management of natural resources, through participatory governance. This results from many diverse smart solutions across all sectors of society, filed by a combination of disruptive technologies and social innovation. |
Business use cases
Business Cost - Initial Build Cost Target Objective |
Host Video applications, Health Application, LMS on the edge, control plane on the cloud, and media plane close to customer site such as MEC servers in telco central offices.
We choose X86 server to deploy the MEC platform to reduce the cost.
•2 X86 Nodes ( The PowerEdge XE2420 provides a short-depth, dense, Dual-socket, 2U server)
•Kubernetes v 1.17 (Open Source)
Cost of a proof of concept, how to deploy an example of a smart city implementation across multiple suppliers and stakeholders. Cost is only for the hardware |
Business Cost – Target Operational Objective |
It more like a cloud platform, but it's specific for the edge site.
•It needs Helm and Ansible for the automation and management tools to keep operational cost lower
•Maintain a mixed edge platform including x86 and ARM.
•Kubernetes v1.17
•Android, IOS
•GPU ( NVIDIA V100/s or NVIDIA RTX6000)
•Both ARM and X86 can support it.
Varies widely depending on accessories. The IoT Gateway can be under $500 to over $5,000 | |
Security need | Security mechanisms that can be implemented at each layer of abstraction. |
Regulations
PSA and PARSEC both provide a security framework. | |
Regulations | Varies depending on local regulations |
Other restrictions | N/A |
Additional details | Project Cassini is the open, collaborative, standards-based initiative to deliver a cloud-native software experience across a secure Arm edge ecosystem. Whether exploring the impacts of urbanization and climate change with software-defined sensor networks, pinpointing origins of power outages in smart grids with data provenance, or enhancing public safety initiatives through data streaming, Project Cassini leverages the power of diverse Arm-based platforms to create a secure foundation for edge applications. |
