Edge Computing and 5G: The Future of Real-Time Data Processing

Insight by INFI IT 5 min read

The combination of 5G high-speed connectivity and edge computing is revolutionising industries from manufacturing to healthcare.

Processing at the Source

By moving computational power closer to the data source (the "edge"), we eliminate the latency caused by long-distance transit to centralized data centers. This is critical for autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and industrial robotics.

The 5G Catalyst

5G provides the massive bandwidth and ultra-low latency required to connect millions of IoT devices. Together with edge nodes, it creates a distributed network capable of processing vast amounts of information in real-time.
