Edge Computing

Instead of sending all data to a central cloud server for analysis, edge computing processes information on devices or local servers situated at the "edge" of the network. This proximity reduces latency, enabling faster responses and more immediate action.

For instance, an autonomous vehicle processes sensor data locally to make split-second driving decisions.

This approach is frequently employed in the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous systems, real-time analytics, and scenarios demanding low latency and high bandwidth.
