Wipro launches 5G Edge Services Suit built on IBM Edge Ecosystem

Wipro has now launched 5G-based edge computing services to help organizations gain real-time visibility and data insights for infrastructure management.

The solution will extend the Bangalore based BoundaryLess Enterprise – Universal Edge Portfolio. The solutions are built with the IBM Tririga and Edger Application Manager, which can leverage 5G network capabilities.

The offerings allow communication service providers and mobile tower operators to deploy their applications into a wide range of edge services.

Evaristus Mainsah, General Manager, Cloud, Cloud Pak and Edge Ecosystem, IBM, said, "The convergence of 5G and edge computing is set to spark new levels of innovation, and this in turn will fuel a broad ecosystem of providers to co-create for a growing set of edge opportunities. We are excited about the value that Wipro can bring to their clients that require Universal Edge solutions to help extend their enterprise to compute at the edge."

K.R. Sanjiv, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Limited said, "Our strong telecommunication domain capabilities coupled with leadership in cloud & infrastructure lifecycle and investment in the Wipro IBM Novus Lounge equips us well to deliver these industry-specific solutions. We are confident that this will enable efficient deployment and management of infrastructure with 5G and Edge for our customers in the telecommunications, manufacturing, oil & gas and retail industries."

AI and cloud-based services address the issues of edge computing by providing real-time visibility and data insights.

This will help to enable holistic management of the edge infrastructure for mission-critical applications in transport, manufacturing, oil, healthcare, and gas and real industries.

Apart from that, Wipro has joined the IBM Edge Ecosystem, an initiative to help partners implement open standards-based cloud-native solutions that can be deployed to autonomously manage edge applications.

Combined with the IBM Edge Application Manager and Tririga, Wipro Solutions are expected to address a wide range of concerns related to deploying and managing globally distributed services on devices, telecom operator multi-access edge points, and private edges.
