ECAs are servers that are directly integrated into the LTE basis stations and thus are not bound to complex network routing. The customer can in this way download and use computer-intensive content, which is queried especially at specific locations, in a much shorter time. The Piazza Duomo in Milan is the perfect place to take advantage pf this by using an AR-tourist-guide to show visitors around at this historic place.

Augmentaio has used the self-developed ECA plugin, which allows to download any AR content from the ECA and as a fallback solution from a CDN server. Metadata such as TimeToFirstByte, DownloadTime, Througput etc. should also be recorded and displayed for evaluation purposes.
