Abstract
An apparatus, method, and system disclosed herein are directed to a user equipment (UE) capable of dynamically selecting a telecommunication network for running an application using edge-computing capability of the telecommunication network. A subscriber identity module (SIM), such as an eSIM, may be provisioned for a plurality of preferred telecommunication networks of a multi-network mobile edge computing (MEC) system where each network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks meets an edge-computing requirement of the application. A workload associated with the application may be distributed among edge-computing nodes of a first network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks. Upon detecting a degradation in a service associated with running the application on the first network, running of the application may be switched to a second network of the plurality of preferred telecommunication networks and the workload may be distributed among edge-computing nodes of the second network.
