Ericsson Distributed Cloud goes beyond NFV and Edge Computing. It brings to operators the best of telecom and cloud capabilities, placing the application where it’s needed the most (centrally, distributed or at the edge). It’s an open platform, with end-to-end orchestration, that allows operators to prepare their infrastructure to unlock at least 25% of the business potential of 5G use cases.
