SUMMIT @ MWC26
Intel: Hall 3 Booth 3E31 CloudRAN, Edge CPU, Telco Orchestration
Working alongside Ericsson, Intel, & Red Hat, we demonstrate how a unified edge-to-cloud architecture can sustain the demands of truly immersive live video, where latency, visual fidelity, & consistency across varying consumer devices all matter. By leveraging Intel Media Engine acceleration directly on edge infrastructure, orchestrated by Red Hat OpenShift and co-located with Ericsson’s CloudRAN, this live showcase illustrates how containerized media workloads can perform real-time transcoding at the edge, without relying on discrete GPUs for video, while maintaining broadcast-grade quality, supporting heterogeneous endpoints, & significantly reducing power consumption.

With the proliferation of streaming protocols, edge-based media engines are essential for optimizing network resource utilization based on real-time context.
Key Benefits of the Edge CPU Cloud-RAN Architecture in High-Bandwidth Immersive Streaming Use Case:
- Ultra-Low Latency: Eliminates delay between the RAN and edge services, enabling near real-time responsiveness.
- High-Bandwidth Optimization: Traffic remains within the same PCIe/NUMA domain, ensuring maximum throughput for data-intensive applications.
- Integrated RAN + MEC Execution: Consolidates RAN & MEC workloads into a unified execution environment, simplifying deployment & improving efficiency.
- Real-Time Performance: Ideal for latency-sensitive and high-performance applications, including XR, autonomous systems, and industrial IoT.
- Enhanced Data Security: Localized processing reduces the attack surface, improving data privacy and compliance.
- Rich API Access & RAN Awareness: Applications can leverage APIs to access RAN state information, enabling smarter, context-aware functionality.
- Quality-of-Experience Enablement: Supports advanced service-level guarantees through QoD (CAMARA, Quality on Demand) for critical applications.
In 2026, we’re delivering AI-powered experiences that truly delight, leveraging MCP to bring intelligence to the edge & unlock richer, more immersive ways for customers to connect.
