Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a customer premise equipment (CPE) device with agile software stack integrated with OpenSync™ layer for command, control, and telemetry via the operator's cloud network. It includes the configuration of the CPE device to receive traffic from an access network in a first system on chip (SoC) of the CPE device, and to provide 5G edge computing services to a 5G NR user equipment (UE) device via a second SoC of the CPE device. The CPE device may also be configured to receive 5G New Radio (NR) mobile traffic, receive in-home Wi-Fi traffic, and use at least one service flow (or only one service flow) to support both the 5G NR mobile traffic and the in-home Wi-Fi traffic.
