EES (Edge Enabler Server)

Also known as: Edge Enabler Server

The EES is the 3GPP edge-computing function (TS 23.558) deployed in an Edge Data Network that provides supporting APIs to Edge Application Servers, including registration, discovery of other EASes, capability exposure and interaction with the 3GPP core over N33/N6. It is the server-side counterpart of the Edge Enabler Client running on the UE.

EES in context

Telecom security is written into standards from 3GPP, GSMA, ETSI, IETF and ITU-T. Understanding which body owns which specification, and how they interlock, is essential for both design and audit work.

To place EES in the wider telecom-security picture, review 3G, 3GPP, 4G, 5GNR, 6G and ADSL — each entry cross-references back to this page so you can walk the topic in either direction.
