The evolution from local towards virtualised data storage, computation, network management, applications and workspaces has changed the way we use digital services and brought some clear benefits over traditional systems, such as easy management, universal availability and decreased hardware requirements for devices. We are witnessing a change from separate person-to-person, person-to-machine and machine-to-machine (IoT) computing towards the Internet of Everything (IoE) computing. The foreseen next step in the evolution of wireless communication technologies is the evolution towards 6th generation networks. This transition will boost network sharing in cities and indoor spaces, and -- especially -- drive the local computing paradigm. In today's cloud systems, data processing and decision-making logic are handled at data centres, which is not optimal from the viewpoint of performance, efficiency and reliability, security or privacy.Edge computing is a key technology to unleash the full potential of 5G technologies since it enables deploying computational tasks near the end-devices and therefore opens novel business opportunities around real-time cloud services for wirelessly connected mobile and IoT nodes. It provides computational capacity near the source of the data, allowing various data pre-processing, refining and analysis functions to reduce the amount of data to be sent to cloud servers and therefore reducing the load inflicted on core networks and data centres.The objective of this feasibility study is to understand the market demand, regulatory environment and seek technology and commercial partners to deliver AI managed 5G and mesh connected edge compute devices and services in the ASEAN region. The study will also seek to prioritise which market sector (e.g. critical national infrastructure, first responders/emergency services, maritime or outside broadcast/event) offer the fastest return on investment and the highest export growth potential.

从本地到虚拟数据存储、计算、网络管理、应用程序和工作空间的演变改变了我们使用数字服务的方式，并带来了一些明显优于传统系统的好处，例如易于管理、普遍可用和降低了对设备的硬件要求。我们正在见证从单独的人到人、人到机器和机器到机器(IoT)计算向万物互联(IoE)计算的转变。可预见的无线通信技术演进的下一步是向第6代网络演进。这一转变将促进城市和室内空间的网络共享，尤其是推动本地计算范式。在当今的云系统中，数据处理和决策逻辑在数据中心处理，从性能、效率和可靠性、安全性或隐私的角度来看，这并不是最佳的。边缘计算是释放5G技术全部潜力的关键技术，因为它能够在终端设备附近部署计算任务，从而围绕无线连接的移动和物联网节点的实时云服务打开新的商业机会。它在数据来源附近提供计算能力，允许各种数据预处理、提炼和分析功能，以减少发送到云服务器的数据量，从而减少对核心网络和数据中心造成的负载。这项可行性研究的目标是了解市场需求、监管环境，并寻找技术和商业合作伙伴，以在东盟地区提供AI管理的5G和网状互联边缘计算设备和服务。该研究还将寻求确定哪个市场部门(例如关键的国家基础设施、急救人员/紧急服务、海事或外部广播/事件)提供最快的投资回报和最高的出口增长潜力。
