Overview
Edge computing reduces delays (latency) and network usage (bandwidth) by processing data near its source rather than sending everything to a centralized cloud data center.
Benefits
- Low Latency: Critical for real-time applications like autonomous vehicles.
- Bandwidth Efficiency: Reduces the volume of data sent over the network.
- Privacy: Sensitive data can be processed locally without leaving the site.
Use Cases
- Industrial IoT monitoring.
- Smart city infrastructure.
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
