Teams were provided with a dedicated instance of the ETSI MEC Sandbox for their work over the duration of the Hackathon. The MEC Sandbox is an online environment where developers access and interact with live ETSI MEC Service APIs in an emulated edge network set in Monaco, which includes 4G, 5G, and WiFi configurations. The MEC Sandbox offers edge contextual information via the Location (MEC013), Radio Network Information (MEC012) and WLAN Access Information (MEC028) ETSI MEC Service APIs.
