Nearby Computing and Casa Systems sign strategic partnership to simplify 5G and edge deployments, enhancing the power of Casa´s 5G solution with best-of-breed management and automation

This new 5G Edge solution allows service providers and enterprises to fully harness network slicing at the network edge – a key feature of 5G. Network slicing enables new business model innovation across all industries by tailoring network specifications to specific tasks to improve efficiency, performance and flexibility, while also creating new revenue opportunities. Additionally, this 5G Edge solution can be configured to support multiple use cases including “5G in a box” with all components installed at an edge location or positioning a 5G UPF component remotely for maximum flexibility. All functions can be accessed and managed through the NearbyOne Edge Orchestration Platform. Casa’s Kubernetes-native 5G multi-access core enables a next-generation of mobile networks that are more flexible, scalable, and automated with the high performance required to support a multitude of use cases from edge computing to time-sensitive networking and ultra-reliable, low latency applications and far-edge solutions for private enterprises. Nearby Computing’s robust portfolio of third-party applications that range from Augmented Reality to Computer Vision, are designed to solve specific customer challenges at the edge that were once too costly to address including remote site access control and remote user assist. An innovative developer framework allows service providers and enterprise customers to automate, orchestrate and deploy services at the edge using a single pane of glass for a unified edge experience.
