Edge experience
Any cloud service deployed at the edge can be customized granularly for
location, enterprise…
Many 5G services require low / guaranteed latency, which can only be
achieved with OnLife infrastructure at the edge
We can deploy a unique network for cellular and fixed, enabling a
coherent and integrated service experience
Edge capabilities (Latency, compute, storage, bandwidth) improve
customer experience and enable TEF to extract value from edge services
OnLife Platform aims to be the AppStore for 3rd party network services /
