Details
The London MEC Hackathon was hosted at the Edge Computing Congress 2019 on 17-18 September 2019.
The event was organized by Intel, VIAVI, Telefonica, Huawei, Saguna, Informa Tech and MobiledgeX, and endorsed by ETSI.
Technical challenge
- The competition was open to developers to test their applications with ETSI MEC APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) in a variety of use cases.
- Teams developed mobile applications for advanced services in MEC-enabled 5G networks, using ETSI MEC technologies. They were also required to onboard their applications in real-life MEC systems and connect with the MEC APIs to receive simulated in-network data.
Winner team
The MEC Hackathon 2019 winner in London, QC-LABS, showcased the "Rehearsal Room" app, an online space for musicians to help them practice together remotely in real-time with MEC — like a web conferencing tool but optimized for playing instruments.
Rehearsal Room leveraged Multi-access Edge Computing to reduce latency and allow musicians to rehearse without a commute! The QC-LABS team provides services for Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 solutions.
