China Telecom is leveraging Huawei's Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) solution to build an open and flexible intelligent private network for Zhenhai Refining and Chemical, a large holding subsidiary and key enterprise directly under China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation.
China Telecom's Ningbo branch will deploy Huawei's MEC@CloudEdge solution on its commercial 4G network. The solution enables local management and local operation of services, including local traffic break out (LBO), local traffic charging and control. It also caters for real-time and high-bandwidth service requirements for video surveillance, mobile office, and on-site data collection and transmission.
Upon the completion, users of Zhenhai enterprise private network can access various networks based on customized requirements. The MEC network enables access to both the enterprise private network and public network services, as well as network isolation within the enterprise park.
