🔸 The Challenge
5G networks promise edge computing, enabling innovative applications like real-time quality assurance, warehouse automation, and self-driving vehicles. Telia, a 170-year-old digital pioneer, sought to leverage its 5G investments by exploring edge computing opportunities.
🔸 Our Solution
Telia partnered with Codento to develop a multitenant edge computing platform. Initially, cloud technologies weren't mature enough for their vision. However, the 2023 release of Google Kubernetes Engine for Enterprise provided the necessary tools for resource isolation, scalability, and security. This breakthrough enabled Codento to build the innovative edge platform Telia had envisioned, offering cost-effective, secure, and flexible computing resources for software providers.
🔸 Why Codento?
Telia partnered with Codento due to their shared vision of edge computing in telecom, deep knowledge of relevant industries, and extensive cloud expertise, particularly with Google Cloud technologies across the Nordic region.
🔸 The Results
Telia and Codento created a pioneering 5G-integrated edge computing platform on Google Cloud, enabling secure and cost-efficient application development. A video analytics pilot with Finferries in September 2024 marked its first public deployment.
