ETSI - MEC or MEAC is the kingpin for 5G KPI achievements

In a recent white paper, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute outlined the role of multi-access edge computing in 5G. 

"Edge computing is acknowledged as one of the key pillars for meeting the demanding Key Performance Indicators of 5G, especially as far as low latency and bandwidth efficiency are concerned," the white paper noted. "However, not only is edge computing in telecommunications networks a technical enabler for the demanding KPIs, it also plays an essential role in the transformation of the telecommunications business, where telecommunications networks are turning into versatile service platforms for industry and other specific customer segments."
