reliability of their network services , edge computing is able to create a highly distributed network that is less reliant on regionalised cloud infrastructure .
The technology is complimentary with 5G , reducing the round-trip distance between the device and the data centre by minimising latency . Combining 5G and edge computing can facilitate a smoother and more efficient user experience , especially when it comes to applications that require real-time data processing like augmented reality and smart cities .
“ Edge architecture provides faster connections , essential for highdemand applications like real-time video streaming or remote healthcare ,” says Erez Sverdlov , Vice President , Cloud and Network Services , Europe at Nokia . “ It reduces the load on backhaul connections , allowing 5G networks to maintain consistent performance even
