ETSI Multi-access edge computing group reaches 100 members - Reinforcing the vision of TAIT Communications on Edge computing

TAIT Communications Sohan Domingo already emphasized the need for URLL in relationship to Edge computing within the critical comms industry. Now ETSI announced that the multi-access edge computing group Strategy Analytics believes that 59% of all IoT deployments will be processing data using edge computing of some form by 2025. Furthermore, a survey from ResearchAndMarkets predicts that mobile edge computing as a service market will reach $73M by 2024, driven by enterprise hosted deployments. No wonder that ISG MEC - one of ETSI’s most dynamic Industry Specification Groups - keeps growing and has now welcomed its 100th member with Mitsubishi Electric R&D Centre Europe. As the volume of data generated by end devices continues to grow and the need to process and analyze it in real time becomes ever more imperative, the importance of computing at the edge emerges as a key feature of 5G systems. In particular, it is critical to support IoT applications, as well as many data-heavy applications, such as emerging interactive gaming, AR/VR tools and experiences. 5G will improve latency but it can’t absolutely guarantee it. Edge compute can.

Some of the benefits of edge computing are: 1. Compliance: using the edge to avoid the regional transfer of data where it’s not allowed. 2, Security: the less the distance data is sent, the less vulnerable it is to attack. 3. Cost: reducing the need to carry data deep into the network has major cost implications. 4. Duplication: if you collect data and send it to the cloud there will inevitably be some duplication. Edge computing can intercept some of it and save you money. 4, Data corruption: even without any nefarious activity from hackers, long journeys from edge-to-data-center make it more likely that data will be corrupted on the way.
