5G and Edge Computing: Facilitating AI at the Edge with High-Performance Edge Computers and IoT
The rise of 5G networks is creating new opportunities across various industries. A key feature of 5G is its ability to support software-defined networks (SDN), making data and device management easier through intelligent software layers.
To fully leverage the potential of 5G, an open edge ecosystem is required, comprising hardware, software, applications, and network components. This ecosystem enables the deployment of private 5G networks and open RAN infrastructures for running IoT and AI applications closer to the data source. Edge computing is crucial in this context, as 5G's high-speed data transfer capabilities necessitate a robust infrastructure of edge nodes to offload the core network and enable efficient local data management.
