Some operations cannot depend on distant processing or fixed connectivity alone.
Industrial environments, transportation systems, field operations, smart infrastructure, mobile teams, and connected equipment can produce large volumes of time-sensitive data. Sending every decision to a distant cloud or data center may introduce delay, cost, dependence, or continuity concerns.
​
5G and edge architectures can place connectivity and computing closer to the operation. The technical case must still be tied to a defined use case.
5G and Edge Placement Architecture
Latency, processing placement, connectivity, and operations are engineered as one service
