This case study introduces a new model in providing carrier-grade content delivery services for Video Service Providers. Using China Mobile’s edge compute infrastructure together with NKN’s distributed micro hosting software, the solution was able to meet all of the technical hurdles in commercial content delivery services for one of the largest Video Service Providers in China.
This solution also showcases the ability for Mobile Operators to create new revenue streams by offering edge infrastructure and idle resources to a new breed of edge applications that rival or even better the performance of large centralised data centre solutions. As 5G and Edge Compute infrastructure continue to be deployed and video is increasingly consumed by mobile, Video Service Providers should consider moving toward a more distributed edge content delivery solution for performance and lower cost.
