Verizon On Site 5G is an Example of Edge Computing

Verizon Business today announced the launch of On Site 5G, Verizon’s first commercially available, private 5G network solution in the United States market. 


Though indirectly, the network is an example of edge computing, since all the private network traffic is confined to the private network, and processed locally, not on Verizon's public network.


Verizon also offers its multi-access edge computing solution as well, for customers who want that capability as well.


On Site 5G networks are custom-designed and managed by Verizon, the company says, allowing large enterprise and public sector customers to use millimeter wave spectrum capabilities in  indoor or outdoor facilities, and confine the traffic to the private network. 


That should support continuous 4 Gbps to 5 Gbps speeds, not just peak speeds, Verizon says. 


On Site 5G uses an LTE packet core and radios previously developed for On Site LTE.
