@Zoher: We've previously stated that the Edge Transport server role is not available in Exchange 2013 at RTM or that it's not available yet (as opposed to the role being discontinued altogether). Workarounds have also been suggested, including using an Exchange

Exchange 2013 was announced:
@G: Exchange Server 2013 doesn't yet have an Edge transport server role, but you can continue to use Exchange 2010 Edge servers until we deliver an Edge transport server role in a future release. You can also use FOPE for protecting inbound/outboud mail.

Use an Edge Transport Server in Exchange 2013 in Exchange 2013 documentation:
The Edge Transport server is not currently available in Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. However, you can continue to use existing Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport servers that you have deployed in your perimeter network. Or, you
can install a new Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 Edge Transport server in your perimeter network for a new or upgraded Exchange 2013 organization.
