Exploration of OLT converged edge computing for industrial internet

Abstract

The industrial internet site has the complexity brought by a large number of heterogeneous devices and networks, as well as the real-time and reliability problems of industrial production. If data analysis and control logic are all implemented in the cloud, it is difficult to meet the network requirements of industrial scenarios. However, edge computing can meet the development needs of the industrial internet in terms of service real-time and reliability. This paper proposes three technical solutions for optical line terminal(OLT) converged edge computing for industrial internet,mainly through the edge computing and OLT business connection, route forwarding and management functions and other aspects of the analysis. Comparing the differences among the three solutions of OLT built-in edge computing with value-added functions, OLT built-in edge computing with general functions, and OLT external edge computing, according to their differences, the scene requirements applicable to different factories are proposed.
