This document discusses how communication service providers can leverage edge cloud computing and virtualized transport (T-NFV) to offer new services and generate additional revenue streams. It notes that many emerging services are moving to or being created in the cloud but require communications connectivity. Edge cloud computing addresses this by situating services closer to end users with lower latency requirements. The document outlines how T-NFV can virtualize transport functions to enable fast, automated delivery of edge cloud services while differentiating the CSP. This virtualized transport is presented as key to enabling edge computing opportunities across sectors like IoT, smart cities, healthcare and more.
