AT&T partnered with Alphabet’s Google Cloud on the 5G edge computing technologies to improve speed and increase security for clients by running applications closer to end-users.
Allowing data to be analyzed where it was created before moving to the cloud is known as edge computing and this process needs speedy wireless connection. Tuning it up with 5G solves the issue.
At present, AT&T’s 5G network covers 80 million people in the U.S.
Companies can use edge computing for the processing of huge amounts of data from the internet of things (IoT) gadgets.
Gartner predicts 75% of all enterprises’ data generated is to be processed outside the traditional cloud by 2025.
“Our co-innovation with AT&T aims to bring a multitude of 5G and Edge Computing solutions to address a diversity of use cases, driving real business value in industries like retail, manufacturing, gaming and more.”
