Quortus today announced that it has been named a double winner at the Edge Awards, part of the Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) Congress. The company was honored in both the \u2018Best MEC Use Case\u2019 category for its ground-breaking Proof of Concept (PoC) \u2018Healthcare \u2013 Dynamic Hospital User, IoT and Alert Status Management\u2019, developed with partner Argela, and for \u2018Biggest contribution to R&D\u2019 for its innovative work in developing its EdgeCentrix disaggregated cellular core network solutions.<\/p>\n
The Healthcare PoC leverages Quortus\u2019 long experience in deploying edge-of-network architectures and its innovative approach to MEC, alongside advanced technologies from Argela, including its ProgRAN SDN-based RAN slicing solution. The PoC demonstrates a number of advanced technologies, including 5G-aligned network slicing and control\/user plane separation (CUPS) to show how highly differentiated services can be defined and deployed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe entire PoC 6 team is delighted to be recognized with this prestigious award,\u201d said Oguz Sunay, CTO, Argela USA. \u201cQuortus and Argela have clearly demonstrated the real-world application and relevance of MEC, not just in healthcare, but in any community of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PoC demonstrates how a hospital could be empowered to assign a cellular access hierarchy to local systems depending on managed access rights. Users \u2013 and IoT devices \u2013 can be prioritized depending on hospital \u2018alert\u2019 status, with dynamic hospital-managed upgrading of users between categories, and dynamic response to critical incidents with modifications to radio resource allocations.<\/p>\n
The 5G slicing technology, jointly developed by Argela and Quortus, enables the virtual partitioning of both the radio access network (RAN) and the core network (CN) components of the cellular network as well as orchestration of end-to-end slicing. The RAN slicing technology in the PoC is Argela\u2019s ProgRAN architecture, which decouples the data and control planes in the RAN, and allows operators to dynamically create, modify or terminate virtual base stations on existing base station hardware. <\/p>\n
Quortus\u2019 award for contribution to R&D was based upon work undertaken to align the company\u2019s marketing-leading EdgeCentrix core network solutions with MEC and 5G architectures. The work leverages software defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and CUPS, and incorporates forward-looking technologies within the MEC paradigm, to improve service delivery. The Quortus disaggregated core architecture, itself aligned with 5G, SDN, NVF and ETSI MEC principles, has already been incorporated in a deployment-ready MEC project alongside partners ACS and Stratacache.<\/p>\n
\u201cMEC is a powerful concept; and we are now in the critical process of defining how it can best be put to work and what the next steps in its evolution will be,\u201d said Andy Odgers, Quortus CEO. \u201cThe work undertaken to MEC-align our award-winning EdgeCentrix solutions ensures that a backbone of tools will be available for Quortus and other organizations to continue the development of the technology going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
