5G is on track to be the biggest innovation of 2021. The cellular technology could improve everything from simple video conferencing to telemedicine to operations on a remote oil field. However, 5G does nothing for the network backbone from the towers to the data centers. As such, 5G could easily overwhelm the fiber networks, the data centers, and the cloud. This reveals the need for a multi-access edge computing (MEC) solution for companies across industries who are searching for a solution that will offset the costs of executing their 5G strategy and allow for easy implementation.

In this podcast Doug Green sits down with Jeffrey Ricker to discuss how 5G will rely on MEC to succeed.
