How Fiber Networks Support Edge Computing

Edge computing is a type of IT infrastructure in which data is collected, stored, and processed near the "edge" or on the device itself instead of being transmitted to a centralized processor. Edge computing systems usually involve a network of devices, sensors, or machinery capable of data processing and interconnection. A main benefit of edge computing is its low latency. Since each endpoint processes information near the source, it can be easier to process data, respond to requests, and produce detailed analytics.

AI and machine learning are the future of Wi-Fi management: WBA report

AI and ML are critical for enabling autonomous, self-optimizing Wi-Fi networks capable of managing dense deployments and real-time performance demands. AI/ML reduces operational costs, improves reliability and security and delivers a more consistent quality of experience. Proprietary approaches, inconsistent data quality, and closed interfaces slow innovation and increase integration costs. Interoperable frameworks - not algorithms - will be key to success. Interoperability must include data models, telemetry, APIs, and model lifecycle management.
