The Linux Foundation Launches New LF Edge to Establish a Unified Open Source Framework for the EdgeMore than 60 global founding members across enterprise, IoT, telecom and cloud collaborate on open source framework for edge computing and future of IoT

SAN FRANCISCO, January 24, 2019 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced the launch of LF Edge, an umbrella organization to establish an open, interoperable framework for edge computing independent of hardware, silicon, cloud, or operating system. LF Edge is initially comprised of five projects that will support emerging edge applications in the area of non-traditional video and connected things that require lower latency, faster processing and mobility.  

LF Edge includes Akaino Edge Stack, EdgeX Foundry, and Open Glossary of Edge Computing, formerly stand-alone projects at The Linux Foundation. The initiative also includes a new project contributed by Samsung Electronics, which will create a hub for real-time data collected through smart home devices, and another project from ZEDEDA, which is contributing a new agnostic standard edge architecture.

Q: What are the top 5 (or more) edge services?

Edge Killer Apps: Non-traditional video + Connected things that move

6

› Many metro IX locations within 20ms of parts of populations…

› Telcos have advantage of COs, cell sites, cell backhaul aggregation, fixed backhaul, street cabinets, etc. much closer to users

› Edge enhanced apps include many elements: natural language, facial recognition, immersive experience, swarming

› Big (too much) bandwidth top driver› Our categories are a grouping of

several applications; can be user delivered

Summary: LF Edge1. Addressing the fragmented & proprietary stacks for Edge and IOT – fueling

the new Open Edge for next gen applications2. The Open, Harmonized and Interoperable Edge

› Hardware, Silicon, Cloud, OS, Protocol independent› Best of telecom, cloud and enterprise – location, latency & mobility differentiation › Collaboration with Consortiums (IIC, AECC, OEC, TIP) with “real” code› Complements the AWS and Azure IOT ecosystem with standard APIs

3. Open Source already a de-facto standard on technologies like AI+5G+Networking+IOT Connected device. Repeating the requested umbrella formula (CNCF, LFN..) – with mature code & blueprints
