Singapore telco offers enterprise customers the option to run its Multi-access Edge Compute 5G platform, tapped to process applications such as drones and augmented reality, on Microsoft’s Azure cloud network.
Singtel is offering its 5G edge computing infrastructure on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, with trials slated to kick off this year. This will enable enterprises to run applications such as autonomous guided vehicles, drones, robots, and virtual/augmented reality, in closer proximity to users, the Singapore telco says. The partnership would allow Azure customers to tap Singtel’s Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC) services, coupled with the telco’s 5G network, with latency of «less than 10 milliseconds», said Singtel in a statement Tuesday.
