New Tech Report, Blog, and Webinar: The Just-in-Time Cloudlet: A Hotspot for the Edge of Nowhere
Imagine using drones to inspect bridges and electric grid towers, mounting a search and rescue operation for a child lost in the woods, hosting a backcountry ski event for a weekend, and providing critical communication and application capabilities for forward military operations -- these are just a few situations where there is a need to deploy a modern compute and communication infrastructure very rapidly in areas with poor network coverage. We believe there are many use cases that could benefit from what we refer to as a “Just-in-Time Cloudlet”. The JIT Cloudlet bundles a mobile access network and edge-native applications into a small form factor. Over the last year, we’ve been closely working with Arm to develop a reference architecture and a JIT Cloudlet prototype based on commercial off-the-shelf technologies, open-source software, and a “Cloud-native at the Edge” design paradigm.
