The solution is a 10-foot portable trailer that delivers a private network, private MEC, SD-Wan and satellite connectivity
Verizon’s Mobile Onsite Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), a 10-foot connected portable trailer, hit the streets around Lockheed Martin’s Waterton, Colorado campus this week. The vehicle delivers a private network, private mobile edge compute (MEC), SD-Wan and satellite connectivity to customer locations, providing scalable 5G and edge compute that can be managed locally by enterprise and public sector customers, said the operator.
“By delivering the mission critical connectivity that our network provides to customer locations, we are demonstrating how 5G and edge computing can help customers address their strategic priorities and continue to develop advanced solutions,” said Srini Kalapala, senior vice president for technology and product development at Verizon. “A private network on location delivers the high-speed, high-capacity, and low latency needed for various applications as well as greater privacy and security.”
