Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) relies on robust APIs and standards to enable
seamless integration of applications and services at the network edge. Understanding these interfaces is key to unlocking MEC’s full potential in 5G and beyond.

In this course, you’ll start with an overview of MEC standards and the ETSI standardization
programme, including the latest developments and principles behind API design. You’ll
explore core APIs such as Radio Network Information, Location Services, UE Identity,
Bandwidth Management, and Multi-Traffic Steering, as well as APIs for WLAN, fixed
access, V2X, and IoT. The course also covers application management interfaces,
including lifecycle management, package management, and application descriptors (AppD).

Next, you’ll dive into advanced topics such as MEC federation, support for slicing, security
and regulatory considerations, and best practices for QoS measurement. You’ll learn how
MEC integrates with 5G networks, including traffic steering, local access to the 5G data
network, and mapping MEC APIs to CAPIF. Real-world examples, proofs of concept, and
deployment trials illustrate how MEC APIs enable interoperability and innovation across
diverse ecosystems.

Designed for professionals in telecoms, IT, and edge computing, this course provides a
clear, practical introduction to MEC APIs and service integration - ideal for anyone seeking
to understand how standards and interfaces drive next-generation edge services.
