MEC Edge Computing for Utilities - by EDF & Saguna
The document discusses the deployment of Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) solutions for hydroelectric operations, focusing on low latency and high bandwidth needs for reliable communication in remote locations. It outlines the setup involving various types of connectivity (4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, LoRa) and the importance of local application operation to enhance actuator responsiveness. Additionally, it highlights the use of video analytics and automation in optimizing operations and ensuring safety measures at the hydro power sites.
