Abstract: This article discusses how to create effective 5G edge media solutions. We provide a high-level overview of edge computing, key challenges for implementing an end-to-end media edge solution, and the benefits of such solutions. Media use cases impacted by 5G will be discussed. We also examine the different layers of the edge architecture including the application and network layer integrated with far-edge devices, multiaccess edge compute (MEC), and hybrid cloud environments built on a 5G network. 5G media applications integrated with advanced network functions such as slicing with closed-loop automation to optimize network and application functions for media solutions will be discussed. We will present the above in the context of implementation and conclude with lessons learned and key challenges that need to be addressed in the future.
