1. Overview
This overview introduces the basic concepts and operations of QNE that can help familiarize users with
QNE.
About QNE
QNE is a Linux-based operating system designed for edge computing. The system runs applications for
cloud management and virtualization to provide network services. The optimized kernel and various services
efficiently manage system resources, support applications, and protect important data. QNE also provides
built-in utilities that extend the functionality and improve the performance of the device.
The multi-window, multitasking user interface facilitates the management of the QuCPE device, user
accounts, and applications. Out of the box, QNE provides built-in features that allow you to easily configure
cloud and network settings. QNE also comes with the Application Store, which offers various applications for
customizing the device and optimizing task workflows.
QNE supports two operating modes that can address different business needs. Stand-Alone Mode allows
you to manage each QuCPE device separately using local accounts. Meanwhile, Cloud Management Mode
allows you to remotely deploy and manage all devices in your organization using AMIZ Cloud, a central
cloud management platform designed for QuCPE devices.
