Edge computing improves performance and optimizes resource utilization in many use cases. The enterprise is an environment where edge computing is going to play a large role for a diverse set of use cases, which include not only data and voice connectivity, but also IoT applications. I talked with Matt Montgomery, Director of the Wireless Business Group at Verizon Wireless, about how edge computing addresses the connectivity requirements of the enterprise, while providing the same high level of security as centralized services.
Mobile edge computing offers a compelling proposition. “There’s so much data generated from network analytics these days that we can’t physically get all of it across the network. By doing some of the computing at the edge, we lower the latency. Mobile edge computing offers the lower latency that we need to provide the best experience,” Matt told us.
