Getting Started with Verizon

Introduction

The Verizon Edge Discovery Service API can direct your application clients to connect to the optimal service endpoints for your Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) applications for every session. The Edge Discovery Service takes into account the current location of a device, its IP anchor location, current network traffic and other factors to determine which 5G Edge platform a device should connect to.
