Drive micro-services
from the deep cloud
data center down Our Vision
into new terminals
and user interactions
Apply principles that made major Internet players
successful to enable new wireless experiences by
delivering a flexible, innovative micro-service
platform that is integrated across the distant cloud
over mobile networks to far edge devices.
The target for this tech: Smartphone
& edge device vendors, telcos

a joint VRin efficient
experiencemulticast
After the movie, Bob installs an
app, sponsored by the hotel,
that creates video effects
Bob’s terminal is discharging
rapidly so he moves the
processing to the hotel’s server
Bob’s tired of watching on his
terminal and moves the display to
the large screen TV in his room
