More than 101,000 participants from around the globe attended MWC 2024 in Barcelona. Artificial intelligence (AI) was the biggest topic with exhibitions highlighting how AI can enhance network modernization, energy efficiency, service quality and edge applications.

Today we are announcing the release of the Converged Edge Platform 1.5 Reference Architecture. This multi-purpose platform for edge solutions now includes support for many new features, including VMware's ETSI-compliant Telco Cloud Infrastructure.

Pat Gelsinger is positioning VMware as a partner to help telcos move workloads to cloud architectures, including the edge, as they look to manage and deploy 5G networks.
