What is Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and how does it differ from traditional cloud computing?

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a network architecture that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, improving response times and saving bandwidth. Unlike traditional cloud computing, which relies on centralized data centers, MEC operates at the edge of the network, closer to end-users and devices.

Our mobile edge computing solutions significantly reduce latency by processing data at the edge of the network rather than sending it to a centralized cloud. This proximity to end-users ensures faster data processing and response times, crucial for real-time applications.

We deploy mobile edge computing in various scenarios, including autonomous driving, smart cities, augmented reality, and IoT applications. These use cases benefit from the reduced latency and increased reliability provided by edge computing.
