Aether: The First Open Source 5G/LTE Connected Edge Cloud Platform
0 likes179 views
The document discusses Aether, an open source 5G/LTE connected edge cloud platform from the Open Networking Foundation (ONF). It aims to enable digital transformation through a cloud-native platform that supports disaggregated and virtualized mobile networks. Aether provides a common, neutral platform for building distributed edge applications and allows enterprises to deploy private 4G/5G networks. It has global deployments across multiple continents and edges that are centrally orchestrated from the cloud.
