How many times have you experienced high latency? Probably, at least several times during your life. This is often an issue with weak and unoptimized networks.
Edge computing brings the capabilities of cloud close to the end-user or end-device. There are debates around edge computing vs fog computing. In reality, the two have similar objectives. A small difference is that fog computing can include running intelligence on the end-device and is more Internet of Things (IoT) focused.
The edge spans anywhere between the end-device and the cloud/internet. However, telco edge computing is a subset of this.
There are multiple potential locations for telco edge computing on and off the public network. These include customer premises, cell towers, street cabinets, and network aggregation points in the access and core network. The decision for where to put edge compute infrastructure for a telco depends on three factors:
a) the telco’s current network architecture
b) the virtualisation roadmap, which is where you plan data centre facilities for network applications
c) demand and the use cases telcos have to cater to.
