Top 5 Reasons Why 5G will bring Transformation in Edge Computing
Cloud is increasing adoption in recent years and after its inception in 1999, it saw exponential rise in usage and its market is expected to cross US$ 160 billion by 2024. The surge in cloud traffic due to IoT and smart devices led to the growth of Edge Computing. With increasing smart devices and data sharing between them has brought congestion in the spectrum and made the communication tough.
5g is a new spectrum that is all set to become the next factor of digital transformation. Now that IoT has become a significant force with data analytics, networking infrastructure, AI, big data & cloud,the question of higher bandwidth, low latency for smart devices still exists. Emergence of 5G has paved the way for fulfilling these aspects. Its emergence has enabled edge computing to flourish at a faster pace as 5G needs faster delivery of data to end points and edge computing is the key. 5G and Edge Computing thus depend on each other.
How 5G and Edge Computing are Mutually Reinforcing Phenomenons
With potential of providing higher bandwidth and reduced latency 5G seems to work on edge computing for providing quick real time data.
1. Latency: Quick access is really necessary when it comes to critical scenarios like emergency alarms at fuel stations, 5G connectivity will therefore be quick which can deliver data in 1 ms (millisecond).
2. Full Coverage: 5G depends on multimode network architecture and is thought to cover short distances, it is sure to depend on edge.
3. Mobile Computing: Users seek immediate connectivity to operate smart devices & 5G will be an obvious solution for companies if they want to retain customers in a competitive environment.
Use Cases of Edge Computing that will be influenced by 5G
5G is key to promising edge computing performance in IoTs, healthcare, autonomous machines, gaming etc. For companies planning to invest in 5G must watch use cases that will be benefited after its implementation.

- Industry 4.0: 5G network slicing and mobile edge computing to provide various value-added services for the manufacturing industry to connected factories a reality.
- Autonomous Vehicles & Transport: In autonomous vehicles, the use of 5G will be an absolute success as sensors in moving objects are more dependent on real time data.
- Remote Care: Data limitations in healthcare sectors limit performance. To exchange high resolution images without delay will be highly favored. Telemedicine can be done faster than before, especially in rural areas.
Unfolding Value Propositions of 5G
By 2027 IoT devices are expected to grow to 41 billion and this expansion will bring 5G to life. Can’t ignore IIoT (Industrial IoT), it will also improve with rising 5G technology. Due to its performance and reliability, 5G is quickly becoming a popular network & has much wider aspects than discussed. With the right measures and preparations like the infrastructure, APIs, data hubs etc companies would be able to use 5G more conveniently.
