Intel Korea shared the latest 5G network and edge computing solutions and implementation cases with its partners at the 'Intelligent 5G Edge Summit 2022'.

Intel Korea announced on the 1st that it held the 'Intelligent 5G Edge Summit 2022' at the El Tower in Seocho-dong with the theme of 'Networks that have become smarter with the Internet of Things.'

In her welcoming remarks, Intel Korea CEO Kwon Myung-sook said that Intel has been collaborating and investing with industry leaders in building open infrastructure for 5G networks.

The partner presentation session showcased implementation examples of solutions utilizing Intel technology.

HFR, a communications equipment specialist, introduced its my5G™ solution. my5G™ is a compact, high-efficiency virtualized base station solution equipped with Intel® Xeon® CPUs, the FlexRAN software platform, a virtual radio access network (vRAN) dedicated accelerator, and a network interface controller (NIC).

HFR announced that it will launch an Open RAN (O-RAN)-based virtualized 5G base station solution through my5G™ and plans to expand its services overseas.

ELUON, a leading 5G mobile communications company, introduced an integrated solution for enterprise-specific 5G core networks and mobile edge computing (5G core & MEC). Iruon utilizes Intel® Xeon® CPUs and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK).

The solution is characterized by its support for building customized services for each customer as an ultra-lightweight one-box integrated solution. Iruon has deployed the solution in three pilot sites built by KT in the metropolitan area and Gyeongsangbuk-do by the end of 2021 and plans to expand the service area within the year.

This was followed by presentations on various case studies, including the use of 5G technology in Naver Cloud's robot-friendly building and the application of 5G in medical settings at Samsung Seoul Hospital.

In addition, Intel provided an opportunity for customers and manufacturers, including LG Electronics, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Dell, Cisco, Advantech, CUE, and AIMMO, to see the latest private 5G technologies and industry trends in one place at this event.

Meanwhile, at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022, held in early 2022, Intel showcased how partners and customers can implement programmable software-defined infrastructure from the cloud to the intelligent edge through the internet and 5G networks, and unveiled the new Intel Xeon D processor, the latest system-on-chip (SoC) designed for software-defined networks and the edge. The new Xeon processor offers integrated AI and cryptographic acceleration, built-in Ethernet, time-coordinated computing (TCC), time-sensitive networking (TSN), and industry-class reliability.

The new Intel Xeon D processors deliver exceptional performance and efficiency across a wide range of workloads, including security appliances, enterprise routers and switches, cloud storage, wireless networks, and AI inference, where data must be processed and transmitted where it originates. Intel also announced its latest OpenVINO 2021 open-source software release to help developers capitalize on AI inference opportunities at the edge.
