BEREC Report on Cloud and Edge Computing Services

The report describes how cloud and electronic communications interplay from four different angles. First, the connectivity required for the provision of cloud and edge computing. Second, the migration of ECN to the cloud considering different elements and functions of the network (core, RAN edge, backhaul and transport as well as network operation and orchestration). Third, the provision of new and enhanced ECN/S by means of cloud-based network services (i.e., Network-as-a-Service). Fourth, supplying of bundled and integrated ECN/S and IT services with cloud.

Against this backdrop, BEREC gathers regulatory considerations around network cloudification.
