Microsoft and Singtel have unveiled the Azure public multi-access edge compute (MEC) service in Singapore, enabling organisations to run latency-sensitive workloads such as video streaming and real-time analytics on Singtel’s 5G network. The service is part of Microsoft’s Azure for Operators portfolio that brings cloud capabilities to telcos, enabling them to deploy edge cloud services and monetise their 5G investments. With the addition of Azure public MEC, enterprises will have the ability to use a single Paragon platform to deploy applications closer to their site in the near edge, at the far edge, or on the public cloud. Developers will also be able to create and manage network-aware applications that require high throughput.
