Multi-Access Edge Computing in Action
暫譯: 多接入邊緣計算實戰

本書提供了多接入邊緣計算（Multi-Access Edge Computing, MEC）的完整且具戰略性的概述。它涵蓋了網路和技術方面，從不同利益相關者的角度描述市場情境，並分析部署方面及參與生態系統的行動。MEC 存在於並支持一個高度複雜的「5G 世界」，在這個世界中，技術專家和非技術決策者必須協同合作，並在一個大型互聯互通的生態系統中行動，而 MEC 只是其中一個重要的部分。本書分為三個部分，每部分包含幾個章節，針對這三個關鍵方面進行探討：技術、市場和生態系統。

Alex earned his B.S.E.E. Summa Cum Laude from The Cooper Union, S.M. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University. He held a Visiting Faculty appointment at WINLAB, Rutgers University, where he collaborated on research in cognitive radio, wireless security, and future mobile Internet. He served as the Vice-Chair of the Services Working Group at the Small Cells Forum. Alex is an inventor of over 150 granted U.S. patents and has been awarded numerous awards for Innovation at InterDigital.

Rui Frazao is the CTO and EVP of EMEA Operations at B-Yond. Prior to B-Yond, Rui was CTO of Vasona Networks, an innovative provider of multi-access edge computing (MEC) solutions, acquired by ZephyrTel (2018). He also previously held various group technology positions during his 15 years at Vodafone including serving as the Director of Network Engineering overseeing network activities across Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. His work with Vodafone included implementing the industry's earliest VoLTE deployments and launched the first virtualized network core platforms in Europe. Rui previously held roles with Cisco, payment network SIBS, and the Lisbon Stock Exchange. He has completed studies spanning business strategies, computer systems, electrical engineering, and telecommunications.
