Pinnacle is powered by M1’s purpose-built 5G standalone network and ST Engineering’s AGIL Edge Platform for 5G.

Republic Polytechnic’s School of Engineering is using Pinnacle, a multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform, to optimise its operations and reduce operating expenses through real-time monitoring and control of critical and time-sensitive materials.

The polytechnic is also looking to leverage Pinnacle for robotics and augmented reality to enrich students’ learning experiences and embrace emerging trends.

Besides Republic Polytechnic, a number of enterprises are also adopting Pinnacle to leverage the power of 5G and edge computing. The platform can handle real-time data processing and service management to deliver high levels of service performance in a cost-effective and efficient manner. By bringing computation and storage closer to the edge of the network, Pinnacle can deploy and manage mission-critical applications, reducing latency, bandwidth consumption and network congestion.

According to M1, Pinnacle will allow it to tap into new revenue streams such as managing end-to-end servicing of the platform and delivering enhanced value to its customers. This includes reviewing customers’ existing infrastructure, incorporating Pinnacle alongside other technologies and applications, and ensuring that the MEC solution aligns with their business objectives.

“Pinnacle solutions aim to optimise infrastructure and streamline data usage with faster speeds and better performance that 5G promises. The sum of these technologies is more than its parts and together – it creates a next-gen solution platform that is truly empowering for enterprises, opening new avenues of business opportunities for a more intelligent and connected society,” says Manjot Singh Mann, M1’s chief executive officer.

“This new 5G Mobile Edge Computing platform plays a critical role in paving the way for enterprise digital transformation, and we are glad to partner with M1 in its advancement towards enabling enterprises in their adoption of 5G and edge applications,” says Sebastian Tan, GM Advanced Connectivity & head Enterprise Communications at ST Engineering.
