4/9/2021 - Team Meeting

Attendees : 

• Surojit
• Biswajit

Topics discussed :

• Currently PCEI, KubeEdge don't solve or provide the last mile connectivity, and assumes it as existing
• RuralEdge target areas don't have 3G/4G/5G connections 
• For 2G/3G Areas we are exploring Private LTE solution to resolve the last mile network
• Oleg from PCEI Team suggested that Private LTE is the only option where 4G/5G network is not available to keep latency <30ms 
• Abhishek has deployed K8 using x86 EC2 instances

Next Step :

• Abhishek will deploy new k8/EKS cluster on ARM instances
• Surojit will deploy RE Video Bridge on Jetson Nano and test over local WiFi
• Biswajit will work with PCEI to architect the network solution for the cases listed below :
  • Where no network is available (Private LTE, Wifi with no overlay with Public Network)
  • Where 2G/3G Public Network is available
  • Where 4G Public Network is available
  • No 5G solution required. 5G will solve the network latency
