Taking advantage of the massive throughput and low latency of 5G requires a new approach to building telecom networks. Often described as born in the cloud, 5G will require not just workload support associated with large, centralized data centers, but also taking that same type of computing performance and moving it out closer to the network edge.
Intel drove this point home last week during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, highlighting how the combination of 5G and edge computing is essential for new types of consumer experiences–think cloud-based and mobile gaming–as well as for digitally transforming enterprises of all sorts.
