With the emergence of 5G and Internet of Things technologies, there is an increasing trend of network services integrating the edge and centralized cloud computing for guaranteeing low latency, real-time processing, and better security/privacy. In this demo, we present an intelligent IoT edge solution with IoT virtual network functions (VNFs) running on uCPE. We demonstrate the system architecture and IoT VNFs on uCPE and show that, in addition to typical uCPE VNFs, IoT VNFs can be included to increase opportunities for new IoT services and revenues while using the same management/deployment platforms as typical VNFs.
