Fundamentals: What is edge computing?

Screen Shot 2019 06 20 at 3.56.56 PM
It’s the weekend – time to get cozy and fire up the latest binge-worthy show on Netflix. You start up Netflix and see the dreaded loading wheel. You’re not sure how long it’ll spin – 5 seconds or 15 seconds – but it’s enough to get under your skin. This lag is actually Netflix connecting to the cloud, so it can pull up the selected show. Just about everything is connected via the cloud, but as the Internet of Things keeps growing, it puts more stress on the cloud, causing bigger latency issues. So how do we get faster speeds? Enter edge computing. What is edge computing? Simply put, it brings the computation and data storage closer to devices that need them. Typically, IoT devices rely on a central location that could be located thousands of miles away. Edge computing moves storage and servers closer to where the data is. This...

Honda and Verizon Put 5G on Wheels With Mobile Edge Computing

Agnostic of radio interface MEC can be used in both 4G and 5G networks
Honda and Verizon recently announced that they are teaming up to develop safety technologies for future connected vehicles. Such safety functions require super-fast data transmission using 5G along with mobile edge computing (MEC) technology to reduce the latency of compute-intensive operations.   Teaming up with the University of Michigan, the Honda-Verizon research collaboration has already tested 5G, MEC, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology in several road incident scenarios. Image used courtesy of Honda   In this article, we’ll take a look at what MEC is and how it can facilitate latency-sensitive applications—specifically those on the road.   First, Some Background on Cloud Computing Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of shared IT resources, especially data storage and computing power, over the internet. For example,...

Verizon and Honda want to use 5G and edge computing to make driving safer – TechCrunch

Screen Shot 2021 04 08 at 4.34.47 pm
Honda and Verizon are researching how 5G and mobile edge computing might improve safety for today’s connected vehicles and the future’s autonomous ones.  The two companies, which announced the partnership Thursday, are piloting different safety scenarios at the University of Michigan’s Mcity, a test bed for connected and autonomous vehicles. The aim of the venture is to study how 5G connectivity coupled with edge computing could allow for faster communication between cars, pedestrians and infrastructure. The upshot: Faster communication could allow cars to avoid collisions and hazards and find safer routes. [Disclosure: TechCrunch is owned by Verizon Media, which is itself owned by Verizon.] The 5G testing is in its preliminary research phase and Honda doesn’t intend to implement this new technology as a product feature just yet.
