Impact of 5G/6G, IoT, and edge computing
You may be wondering why the impact of 5G/6G, IoT, and edge computing has been put together in this section. We believe they are logically connected in aiding the adoption of hybrid cloud and in delivering edge use cases across the industries. We need to classify edge computing into two different eras:
- Traditional edge computing (pre-5G)
- Modern edge computing (post-5G)
The important differences between these eras are the explosion of new use cases and architecture patterns that modern edge computing can support thanks to the reliability, data transfer rate, and security that a 5G/6G network can provide, along with the increased processing capabilities of smart devices. In this section, we will focus on modern edge computing (post-5G).
For modern edge deployments to be successful, we need the following:
- A reliable high-speed and secured network that’s provided by the 5G/6G network
- Smart devices capable...
