Application Performance
​Your employees are having a poor remote work experience and their applications need ultra-high bandwidth and low latency (5G-Like Services) in order to work – they’re not happy. 
Need Mobility
​Applications run slow because they were not DESIGNED for mobility. Your employees expect a FAST direct network connection—not remote access on a wireless connection. 
Compromised Security 
​Remote teams in city and new IoT devices have created thousands of new unsecured connections and endpoints for hackers and cyber-thieves to exploit. 
Complex Management 
​Your network is becoming more complex and difficult to manage due to closed architectures, new technologies, uncontrolled devices, and remote networks. 
Compliance with Regulations
​You need to comply with changing corporate policies, data privacy, and sovereignty laws in order to avoid fines and negative press. 
QUESTIONS?
​So, how can your employees work easily with 5G-Like applications in remote locations with HIGH performance and solid security? 
ALTERNATIVES
​You can explore different Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technologies, such as SD-WAN, SASE, and MEC but those come up short… 
SD-WAN
​Solves regulatory compliance, network management, and some application performance problems. 
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
​Solves your security problems. 
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)
​Solves local breakout of data and can handle 3GPP mobility standards.

UNFORTUNATELY – SOME HAVE “ISSUES”
No Edge APIs
​Most MEC companies only provide fixed software with no open programmability.
CBRS & SD WAN with Mobile Edge Computing Difficult Integrations and Closed Architectures
​Many SD-WAN, SASE, and MEC vendors have complex integrated products that you cannot easily program or change because they have closed architectures.
Complex Optimizations of Networks
​SASE and SD-WAN vendors address fixed network optimizations but not mobile networks (4G LTE, 5G, or CBRS) or remote network optimizations.
Security
​SD-WAN and MEC do not address security across the entire network, only in specific environments. But they are expensive and require complicated network connections.
No Mobile Edge Services in City
​Most MEC vendors do not have API or services that can handle Edge roaming, mobility, or peering. SD-WAN and SASE are fixed architectures and do not address mobility!
Too Expensive
​Most SD-WAN products have expensive hardware components. MEC is typically offered as a hardware platform, not as a SaaS model.
THE BIG QUESTION
​So, how do you provide 5G-Like Services and address these limitations application performance, mobility, and network management issues while maintaining security and complying with regulations? Perhaps you should consider a NEW approach…
SOFTWARE-DEFINED MOBILE EDGE (SD-ME)!CBRS & SD WAN with Mobile Edge Computing
​There are three main reasons to consider SD-ME:

• Improved Application Performance over CBRS Higher Throughput and Lower Latency
• Edge Software to Build New Applications with CBRS Programing for Connectivity and Computing
• Management of Your Data and CBRS Network Data Control

Improved Application Performance over CBRS
Higher THroughput and Lower Latency
​Applications run at the Edge, so your throughput increases – run more apps with higher performance. Your applications and data flows are served at the Edge lowering round-trip time.
Faster Processing
​AI and other high compute applications can run at the Edge versus in the Cloud resulting in faster Edge processing start and completion times.
Offload of Traffic
​SD-ME enables you to offload your local traffic at the Edge of the Network over CBRS (instead of the Cloud), reducing transport costs and improving application speeds. Edge Software to Build New Applications with CBRS
Programing for Connectivity and Computing
​You can build truly mobile and high performing applications with unique software that leverage shared Edge computing resources and macro/local wireless networks (including CBRS).
Next-Generation Applications
​SD-ME’s capabilities enable 5G-like applications, today, without deploying a 5G Network Management of Your Data and CBRS Network
Data Control
​You can determine what data/functions are processed at the Edge versus what is implemented at the Cloud, giving you tight control over your applications, network, and security. So, how can you free yourself from expensive service providers and leverage the benefits of SD-ME to easily get 5G-Like services? Perhaps you should free your mobile enterprise network with Alef EdgeNet!…

It's Monday

Your company’s request for 5G Services from your Operator and Old School Hardware Vendors has been ignored once again. Your application developers have been left starved of APIs to program their applications and networks. Your network is slow. Your applications don’t work. Your employees can’t work remotely because their performance is dictated by your Operator and Old School Hardware Vendors. Your boss has told you “Any Means Necessary” to upgrade their network and applications. Nothing is simple.

It's Tuesday

You picked AlefEdge through ICT NETWORK SYSTEMS INC. You’ve upgraded your network in 15 minutes. Your application developers now have new sandboxes to play in. Everyone is confident they can continue working from home. Your employees are no longer tethered to the office – they’re Cloud-Native and able to roam anywhere they want. Your Enterprise no longer needs to go to your Operator or Old School Hardware Vendors for 5G-Like Services. You’ve turned your back on the old way because you found a new way. Buy as you need. Pay as you need. Develop as you need. You’ve Freed Your Enterprise.
