Is Edge Computing the Savior of IoT Segments?

When low latency is essential for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, cloud computing is not sufficient. Heavy network loads, traffic congestion, and cloud-based data processing can cause response times to suffer. Edge computing can overcome the challenges of cloud computing for IoT devices. Edge computing improves the efficiency of the IoT ecosystem by delivering low latency, low energy services.

Edge nodes provide computation to IoT devices closer to the source — at the edge of the IoT network, rather than in the cloud. When processing happens at the edge, the benefits include lower bandwidth consumption, lower operational costs, stronger device security and better device interoperability.

In this webinar, we will detail how edge computing handles data management, interoperability, seamless network connectivity, and energy management. In addition, the speakers will cover:

• Trends and challenges in the IoT ecosystem
• How to build edge nodes and edge gateways to overcome the current challenges
• Use cases of edge computing for consumer and industrial market segments
• Hardware and open-source platforms for software development
• Evolving edge computing standards bodies
