quality of every service from water management to transportation - will be , the experts believe , driven more than anything by the migration of data centre infrastructure to the edge . “ At the heart of all smart cities are the digital technologies that offer important potential for transformation . In recent years , edge computing has one of these digital technologies creating a buzz within the smart cities space due to the many IoT-based use cases it enables ,” concludes Valle .
“ Unlike the centralised vision before it ,
edge computing presents a new decentralised way of seizing the opportunities and tackling the hazards brought about by urban transition . Edge computing allows large amounts of complex data to be processed and analysed instantaneously at the devices themselves . This has been recognised as essential in removing barriers and fulfilling visions like autonomous driving . Moving forward cities all over the world will be looking for ways to include edge computing into their architecture .”
