Intel® Smart Edge Open simplifies the process of creating edge solutions capable of hosting network functions alongside AI, media processing, and security workloads.
Intel® Smart Edge Open brings together tools from across the cloud-native landscape that have been extended, and optimized into blueprints for building edge platforms. This toolkit is designed to meet the challenges of edge computing, such as resource constraints, network performance, and security.
The Intel® Smart Edge Open Developer Experience Kit lets you explore the toolkit under an Apache 2.0 license. This foundational kit can be used to create solutions for any edge location.
Find instructions for installing the Developer Experience Kit from GitHub in the developer guide.
Alternatively, you can download and run the Developer Experience Kit as a software package from the Intel Developer Catalog.
Reference implementations highlighting end-to-end solutions built on Intel® Smart Edge Open are available for the Developer Experience Kit. Download reference implementations.
As cloud architectures disaggregate in the era of 5G, new locations are emerging as prime candidates for compute workloads that can deliver capabilities and experiences previously not possible. These new edges include the enterprise, locations within the telco infrastructure, and hyperscaler points of presence.
Intel® Smart Edge Open offers a set of experience kits customized for the requirements of specific edge locations:
- The 5G Private Wireless Experience Kit with Integrated RAN and the uCPE Experience Kit are optimized for the on-premises edge, typically located in an enterprise.
- The Access Edge Experience Kit is for creating edge platforms located at or near a 5G base station.
- The Near Edge Experience Kit for creating solutions for aggregation points hosting a distributed UPF (user plane function).
Location-specific experience kits are available under a royalty-free license. To get started with a location-specific experience kit, request a license.
