Driven by demands for more sensors and higher bandwidth for sensors and communications in constrained environments, edge computing is naturally gravitating toward the high density and energy efficiency of Cloud Native Processors by Ampere. Compute modules featuring Cloud Native Processors and open standards for embedded computing applications are speeding adoption and future-proofing the solution.

NextComputing and Ampere enable you to leverage advanced computing hardware for use cases such as:

• Open-RAN, or Open Radio Access Network, enables interoperability and standardization of RAN elements including products and software from various vendors. Open-RAN allows for more flexible and versatile deployment and operation of mobile networks.
• Telco Edge, or deploying computing services closer to the edge of the network, near the end users. The benefits of Telco Edge include reduced latency, improved bandwidth, and enhanced service delivery for applications requiring real-time processing, such as IoT devices, streaming services, and mobile applications. It also allows for more efficient network management and enables new services and applications that were impossible with traditional cloud computing architectures.
• Packet Capture, the process of intercepting and logging traffic that passes over a digital network or part of a network. Packet capture software or devices capture network packets to monitor and analyze network traffic. This can be used for various purposes, such as diagnosing network issues, monitoring network usage, detecting network intrusions, and complying with data retention policies. The captured data can include the content of the packets as well as metadata such as source and destination IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols used.
