Ori announced the availability of its on-demand mobile edge computing platform, DNA for network operators and developers for pilot projects.
Based in London, Ori is a startup that enables developers to deploy edge powered applications over mobile networks. The platform which opens up the network edge for access to third party and internal developers, enables mobile operators to unlock new revenue streams and commercial opportunities.
By creating a virtual service layer across telecoms networks, DNA can help identify and harness available compute power and capacity at network edge points, which can support a specific service or application. Developers in areas such as video content, IoT, telephony and messaging, can use DNA to define the geography of a new service, then automate the deployment across those specific edge points. They can monitor the in-life health of a service, track billing and customer usage, and scale it on-demand.

Mobile operators have the opportunity to monetise their network assets through mobile edge computing and play a major role in a future that will bring us driverless cars, immersive communication and smart cities.
