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 […]
21st-century Smart Cities with 5G and Edge Computing
According to the United Nations, the urban population worldwide will reach 68% by 2050. With population density increasing, cities are presented with difficult infrastructural challenges such as security threats, crowd and traffic management, and operational efficacy. These problems could be resolved using smart city solutions and increased automatization and connection. Although some cities are becoming […]
