They decided to expand the aperture by replacing “mobile” with “multi-access” because it was no longer just about mobile phones but had to do with the plethora of connected devices. MEC is about making edge devices, including IoT-type devices, smarter by running applications on them and making sense of the data that they generate.

This is where many of the previously described concepts converge. Figure 4.5 shows MEC positioned within a large edge architecture. As with everything else in the realm of edge computing, MEC is meant to reduce latency and ensure a highly efficient network service delivery in remote places. MEC-related tasks are meant to be...
