Multi-Access Edge Computing
Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is a network architecture that brings computing resources closer to the end-users. By processing data at the edge of the network, rather than relying solely on centralized data centers, MEC reduces latency and improves response times for applications. This is particularly beneficial for services that require real-time data processing, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and augmented reality.
MEC supports various access technologies, including Wi-Fi, 5G, and Bluetooth, allowing seamless connectivity for users. By enabling local data processing, MEC enhances user experiences and optimizes bandwidth usage, making it a key component in the evolution of modern networks.
