Blueprint Family 

Public Cloud Edge Interface (PCEI)

Use Case

Telco Edge deployments can provide APIs to support capabilities such as the following

• UPF shunting capability -- routing the traffic to desired applications and network functions
• Local breakout – video traffic offiload
• Wireless air-port status
• Location service -- location of a specific UE, or identification of UEs within a geographical area
• QoS acceleration – provide low latency, high throughput for OTT applications
• Slicing scheduling management -- offering dedicated resources specifically tailored for application needs
• Authentication – provided as service enablement (e.g., two-factor authentication) used by most OTT service providers 
• Security – provided as service enablement (e.g., firewall service insertion)
