Edge Computing utilizes real-time processing and data analysis at the edge of the network – nearest the device or user – in order to enable digital transformation and power new technologies. From cars that drive themselves to robots that restock the warehouse and sensors that know when it’s time to water or fertilize crops, our world is changing right before our eyes. This is digital transformation and it includes the convergence of 5G, IoT, AI, machine learning and the Edge.
