NETWORK EXPANSION TO REMOTE SITES UTILIZING SECURE AUTONOMOUS OR REMOTELY PILOTED VEHICLE AS A REMOTE MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937879 titled 'NETWORK EXPANSION TO REMOTE SITES UTILIZING SECURE AUTONOMOUS OR REMOTELY PILOTED VEHICLE AS A REMOTE MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTER
Simplified Explanation
The communication system described in the patent application allows for cellular connectivity in remote locations that are out of range of a traditional telecom provider. The system includes a remote multi-access edge computer (RMEC) that can run software of the telecom provider, enabling it to securely connect with the provider and provide cellular connectivity to a cell phone at the remote location.
- Remote multi-access edge computer (RMEC) provides cellular connectivity in remote locations
- RMEC runs software of the telecom provider for secure connection
- Enables cell phone operation in areas out of range of traditional providers
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in:
- Remote areas with limited or no telecom coverage
- Emergency situations where communication is critical
- Military operations in isolated locations
Problems Solved
The system addresses issues such as:
- Lack of cellular coverage in remote areas
- Difficulty in establishing communication in emergency situations
- Limited connectivity options in isolated locations
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved communication capabilities in remote areas
- Enhanced safety and security through reliable connectivity
- Increased efficiency in operations that require remote communication
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Remote monitoring and surveillance systems
- Off-grid communication solutions for businesses or organizations
- Disaster recovery and emergency response services
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be satellite communication systems that provide connectivity in remote locations. However, the use of a remote multi-access edge computer (RMEC) to run telecom provider software for cellular connectivity may be a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the RMEC ensure secure connection with the telecom provider?
The patent application mentions secure connection, but the specific mechanisms or protocols used for this purpose are not detailed.
What is the range of the cellular connectivity provided by the RMEC?
The extent to which the RMEC can extend cellular coverage in remote locations is not specified in the abstract.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication system for a remote location, which is out of range of a telecom provider, is provided. The communication system includes a remote multi-access edge computer (RMEC) proximate to the remote location and communicative with the telecom provider. The RMEC is configured to run software of the telecom provider whereby the RMEC is securely connectable with the telecom provider such that the RMEC is capable of providing cellular connectivity to a cell phone operably deployed at the remote location.
