Using Drone Swarms With Edge Computing and 5G for Search and Rescue Missions
New technology is constantly revamping the way we do things. After all, these advancements are not a goal in and of themselves – they should always serve real, human needs. One of the areas that are in grave need of technological advancements are search and rescue missions. Whether they’re conducted for civilian or military purposes, […]
MEC as Key to Delivering 5G Embedded Services
As we move closer to the 5G implementation, telecom service providers have two options: non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) 5G networks. With NSAs, service providers can build on top of their existing 4G architecture. By leveraging their infrastructure, they will be able to roll out high-speed connectivity to users with 5G devices. This is a […]
5G edge monitoring and analytics
Mobile network operators (MNO) are transitioning their existing 4G networks into the 5G network. This transition requires a massive investment in time and capital. New monitoring and analytics are needed to ensure these investments deliver on the promise of 5G. Unlike 4G networks that mainly had two monolithic components: Radio Access Network (RAN) that was […]
Taking Full Advantage of the 5G Network
Many top mobile companies boast about their different product lines having 5G. Compared to 4G, the average phone owner may not understand or even notice the difference unless mobile network operators take further steps and addMulti-access Edge Computing (MEC). The Current State of MEC Technology MEC brings cloud computing and IT services together in a […]
Automation in Industry 4.0 and the Closed-Loop Control Systems
Ultra-fast automation and monitoring is the name of the game when it comes to the Industry 4.0. In fact, when we talk about industry 4.0, we are talking about the creation of a cyber physical world that designed to automate and monitor manufacturing processes and the using closed-loop controlled systems. But how does the automatization […]

The characteristics of edge computing also support a wider implementation of IoT devices. However, edge servers and edge-based devices and applications are […]
Using Edge Computing for Easy Indoor Navigation
Imagine this: you’re wandering around a huge shopping mall, looking for that one, specific shop, and you only have 15 minutes to find it. Not an easy task, right? Big airports can also be a nightmare, and who can ever remember where they parked in a huge parking lot? GPS-based indoor navigation often fails. A […]
Edge computing – a new frontier for development
With the rollout of 5G networks and an increasing number of companies opting to develop edge computing services and devices, it’s becoming clear that edge computing will become a new platform for development. Bill Gates famously said that a company creates a platform once the value of the people using it exceeds the value of […]
The 4 Most Common Misconceptions About Edge Computing
Edge computing has generated quite a lot of buzz recently, with good reason. When implemented, edge computing reduces latency, improves data security, removes bandwidth pressure, and lowers the data transmission costs. In simple terms, edge computing brings the network, data storage, and computing closer to the end-user. It can have many applications and could completely […]
