TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY
“ THE COMBINATION OF EDGE COMPUTING AND 5G ENABLES HIGH-SPEED , LOW-LATENCY
SERVICES WITHOUT RELYING ON DISTANT DATA CENTRES , ALLOWING TELCOS TO DELIVER
FASTER , MORE RELIABLE CONNECTIVITY IN RURAL OR REMOTE REGIONS ”
EREZ SVERDLOV , VICE PRESIDENT OF CLOUD AND
NETWORK SERVICES EUROPE , NOKIA he says . “ For example , a cloud-managed system like the Cisco Meraki dashboard can provide centralised control over all connected IoT devices , giving businesses real-time visibility into their network access and usage .”
Future developments The enterprise technology sector anticipates significant changes in edge computing implementation . Many organisations plan to adopt multi-cloud strategies , offering flexibility and scalability for edge infrastructure .
“ The ultra-fast connectivity and low latency that Edge can deliver will enable pioneering use cases such as VR headsets which allow builders and surveyors to analyse building sites without physically being there ,” Mark Toman says . “ VR / AR can also be used for inventory management and warehousing operations to reduce errors and speed up the picking process .”
The integration of edge computing with AI creates opportunities for new services . Organisations anticipate developments in autonomous systems , industrial IoT applications and augmented reality services .
“ From now to 2030 , technology will revolutionise industry ,” Mark Cunningham says . “ At the forefront of this is Edge Computing . This will open more options for AI to be adopted and deployed on any application , any device and anywhere .”
