Edge computing uses local devices to compute, store and communicate data. Edge devices include routers, routing switches, integrated access devices (IADs) and multiplexers. Edge computing can be thought of as an extension of cloud services (which allow compute, storage, analytics, and other functions to be executed remotely) to the user’s local devices. The use of edge devices decentralizes cloud functions, speeding up computation and making it more secure. As 5G networks proliferate, its increased requirements will often increase network congestion and other issues.
