Edge Computing and the Future of Latency

Edge Computing and the Future of Latency Edge computing brings computation closer to data sources, reducing the distance data must travel. This lowers latency and makes systems more predictable. Latency is not just a number; it shapes how fast apps respond and how devices act in the real world. With edge, decisions can happen where data is born. Latency matters in real-time control, autonomous devices, AR, and remote sensing. A few milliseconds can change outcomes, save energy, and prevent faults. For users, smoother experiences come from consistent timing. For operators, predictable latency makes planning and automation more reliable. ...
