Edge computing and 5G will enable one compute platform from edge to cloud. This will provide virtual, software-defined, and cloud-ready capabilities to support the 5G future. Key applications that will benefit include gaming/VR with high bandwidth and low latency requirements, as well as industrial and public safety uses involving real-time video analytics, surveillance, and facial recognition. Edge computing deployments will optimize performance for applications with strict latency constraints by placing computing resources closer to endpoints and users.
